Jaundice from Hydroxycut
Jaundice is one of the most common problems reported by injured Hydroxycut users. It is not considered a disease in and of itself; rather, it can be a symptom of several different conditions. The kind of jaundice associated with Hydroxycut is a result of damage to the liver.
When the liver is not functioning correctly, it cannot properly filter a waste product called bilirubin. This product will then build up in the blood and potentially result in jaundice and other health problems. If you or a loved one is suffering from jaundice caused by Hydroxycut use, we can help you win justice. Call Hydroxycut jaundice attorneys Williams Kherkher at 800-761-3187.
Jaundice: Signs and Treatment
The primary symptom of jaundice is a yellow tint to the skin and/or the whites of the eyes (known as the sclerae). It is also associated with dark urine and a persistent itching sensation called pruritus. On its own, jaundice is uncomfortable but not usually a health threat. However, the underlying liver damage or other illness causing jaundice can be very dangerous.
In order to treat these symptoms, doctors must determine its root cause. Unfortunately, since there are so many things that can cause this condition, it can take time and an expensive battery of tests to discover its cause. If you have been taking Hydroxycut, it is important to let your doctor know, as this can make it much easier to reach a diagnosis.
The treatment for liver damage will depend on the extent of harm done. When it is caused by the use of a drug or dietary supplement, the most important thing is to cease use of that product. In mild cases, the liver can repair itself over time; more severe cases may require a liver transplant. If you have been treated for liver damage caused by Hydroxycut use, you may want to speak with a Hydroxycut recall attorney about your legal options.
