Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
Dark-colored urine
Pale, white, or gray-colored stools
Belly (abdominal) mass
Itching
Abdominal pain
Not gaining weight (failure to thrive)
The symptoms of congenital liver defects may look like other health problems. Always talk with your child's healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
