In life, some people's bodies show an abnormal yellow color, which can be described in one word as dark yellow. This is obviously abnormal and you should go to the hospital for a check-up. So, what exactly is going on with yellow skin and yellow eyes?

Yellow eyes may be caused by icteric hepatitis or cholestatic hepatitis, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up.
