One quibble: jaundice is a symptom of liver damage and/or hepatitis (liver
inflammation). It is not a disease in and of itself.

(Jaundice is when your skin and whites of your eyes turn yellow, your urine
becomes dark and odorous, and your stools become light in color. It is
indicative that your liver isn't properly processing bile.)
