What Causes Yellowness In Eyes Post Endoscopic Procedure For Clearing Out Bile Ducts?
I had my gall bladder removed almost 6 years ago. Before the surgery I had to have an endoscopic procedure to clear out the bile ducts in and around the liver and I became very jaundice. (yellow eyes, yellow skin, and bright orange urine.) Recently I ve noticed that my eyes appear yellow I cant not think of other symptoms aside from being unusually tired and on/off headaches. not sure if this is something that is a cause for concern.

Hello and welcome.
The recent endoscopic procedure could be causing the jaundice, but the yellow eyes could be due to some kind of obstruction as well and as it should have been cleared during the procedure, the yellowish color should soon subside. Please wait for a while and keep a check on your liver enzymes, to look for signs of improvement or worsening so we can keep control on the same.
Best wishes.
