Pain on the right side of your stomach or chest--sharp pain, or even crampy pains. Yellow in your eyeballs, yellowish tint on the skin, with tiredness and feeling lousy. If you have drank a lot of alcohol, taken a lot of cholesterol medication, taken a great amount of tylenol (over a period of time) you are at a greater risk for liver damage. Some other meds can also damage the liver--but the three I've mentioned are the most common.

Jaundice (yellwoing of skin) is probably the most common. Also a high unconjugated bilirubin count in your blood tests is an early sign. At advanced stages, you will have abdominal pain, blood in urine, black blood in stools, and high blood pressure. Certain foods will also cause pain, such as fatty foods, etc.

I think you first will tend to be a yellowy color..jaundice...then other problems will start...the whites of your eyes become yellowy...it isn't a good thing...

Failure of the liver can lead to yellow shade in your skin.
