What causes jaundiced skin to disappear ?
Patient: I have experienced extreme fatigue on a fairly short-lived but regular basis for my entire life, and have often coped through impromptu napping, after which I would typically feel fine.  Many years ago, low blood sugar was thought to be the culprit.  Today, for the first time ever, I woke to find my skin jaundiced.  I was too tired to get up and look at the whites of my eyes in the mirror, and the jaundice has disappeared.  Any ideas? Doctor: Hi thanks for asking question...Noted you are complaining yellow skin and jaundice under suspicion...First for jaundice confirmation, do your serum bilirubin estimation with LFT profiles...If no jaundice then no need of worry.For your fatigue do your peripheral smear examination , serum ferritin and vit.b12 Level.Correct anemia with iron tablet and multivitamin tablet....If raised bilirubin then further work up done with consultation of doctor...Take care.Dr.parth
