Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Symptoms of jaundice commonly include: Yellow skin and the white part of the eyes (sclera)–when jaundice is more severe, these areas may look brown. Yellow color inside the mouth. Dark or brown-colored urine.

Detailed explanation-2: -If there is bilirubin n your urine, it may be an early sign of a liver condition. Bilirubin is a yellow substance that your body makes during the normal process of breaking down red blood cells. Your liver uses bilirubin to make bile, a fluid that helps you digest food.

Detailed explanation-3: -In older people, jaundice usually results from a blockage in the bile ducts, and the blockage is more likely to be cancer. Doctors suspect that the blockage is cancer when older people have lost weight, have only mild itching, have no abdominal pain, and have a lump in the abdomen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Jaundice is a yellow discoloration of the skin and whites of the eyes due to abnormally high levels of bilirubin (bile pigment) in the bloodstream. Urine is usually dark because of the bilirubin excreted through the kidneys.
