yellow skin
Liver failure sign
Yellow skin describes a yellowish tint to human skin, most often referring to jaundice—a medical condition caused by excess bilirubin in the blood, typically signaling liver problems.
The term also appears as an offensive racial descriptor for East Asian people, reducing complex ethnicities to a skin color stereotype.
