Late symptoms of liver disease include yellowing (jaundice) of the skin, the whites of the eyes, and the roof of the mouth; pain over the liver on the right side just below the ribs; darkened urine; and pale gray-colored stools. The bile and bilirubin made by the liver usually leave the body in the stool, giving it a medium to dark brown color. When the liver is not working well, these products do not reach the stool, so it is a light gray or green color instead of brown. Biliru-bin enters the urine and turns it dark, and gets into the skin and mucous membranes, making them yellow.
