Jaundice that comes in the morning and fades during the day?

[andressas]

Hello guys, Ive been drinking heavily for the past year and two days ago I woke up wtih my feet looking extremely yellow (very intense color) as the day passed the yellow went away and the next day in the morning the yellow was back.... has anyone had something like this happened to him/her? My eye pupils are totally white and my palms are too, is this Jaundice?

Impossible to tell. You will need your Doc to take a look. Be honest with him about your drinking so he can get a full picture to reach a correct diagnosis. Good luck

Jaundice doesn't come and go that quickly. In acute liver failure the onset of jaundice can seem rapid but the breakdown and removal of the bilirubin and bile salts deposited in the skin is often very slow. In other words, the reabsorption of jaundice is a much more gradual process and certainly not a daily occurrence.

Peripheral oedema (swelling in legs and feet) can involve changes in skin pigment . Of course, none of us know what's causing what you describe.

As Laura says, if you've concerns, do please see your Dr as your drinking appears to be at unhealthy levels.

Best

As the members have mentioned on this thread already, only a doctor can assess you.

Here is the NHS page on jaundice
