Dear sir i understand your concern.he is suffering from HCC which is a cancerous condition of liver.the liver is not able to process bilirubin in the body, so this bilirubin gets deposited in eyes and skin giving this kind of appearance.kindly meet your gastro and discuss what can be done for the raised levels of bilirubin.hepatic transplantation can be considered if the cancer is localized...regards
