Signs And Symptoms Of Leptospirosis

Jaundice

Jaundice refers to a yellowing of the skin and should always be taken seriously. It typically indicates something is badly wrong in the body. Either red blood cells are being broken up too frequently, or there may be an issue with the kidney or liver. In leptospirosis, the issue is usually found in the liver. The death of cells, known as cellular necrosis, means the liver can no longer do its job properly. Waste products build up and can't be cleared by the body anymore. Jaundice may be accompanied by swelling, or edema, and unusually dark urine, which is a severe sign of trouble.
