What Is jaundice? ANSWER It’s a disease that turns your skin and the whites of your eyes yellow. Newborn babies often get it. But adults can, too. It happens when there’s too much bilirubin, a yellow-orange substance, in your blood. It’s found in your red blood cells. When those cells die, the liver filters it from the bloodstream. But if something’s wrong and your liver can’t keep up, bilirubin builds up and can cause your skin to look yellow.
