What jaundice from cholecystitis looks like

Jaundice caused by cholecystitis will be manifested by yellowing of the skin mucous membranes and sclera of the eyes as well as deepening of the color of the urine. Cholecystitis is mainly related to biliary tract obstruction caused by gallbladder stones, biliary stasis and other secondary biliary tract infections, which leads to bilirubin not being excreted normally. Usually, when jaundice occurs in cholecystitis, it indicates that biliary obstruction already exists, which is a more serious manifestation. Early in the course of jaundice, the sclera may become yellow, and in more severe cases, the skin may become yellow. If biliary obstruction exists, it needs to be relieved as soon as possible such as surgical incision to remove the stone, and analgesia and anti-infection are also needed. It is recommended that patients with cholecystitis-induced jaundice seek medical treatment as soon as possible and do not self-medicate to avoid delaying the condition.
