It depends on what the underlying pathology is.. If you have decreased liver function, you will probably turn yellow, because the liver may not be able to filter out the billirubin from the heme in the blood... I don't know much more, but if you checkout cecil medicine, kumar, abbas and fausto, or Harrison's Principle's of Internal Medicine, you will be able to find out more about decreased liver function. The internet should be able to provide you with some preamble.

pretty much it means that your liver isn't processing things correctly, which means you can't digest fatty foods for one, and it can make you pretty sick. I don't know of a "cure", but I do know there are liver transplants. Your liver, is the only organ in your body that can re-generate. They can take half of someone elses liver and place it into you, and it will grow into a full size liver. If you have this disorder, you need to consult doctors, stick to a certain diet, and take very good care of yourself. Health Question & Answer
