My 15 year old has a yellow tinge in the whites of his eyes

[lisak789]

I'm so worried. He had blood work and a kidney ultrasound on November 14 and all came back normal. But he always looks kind of yellow and I noticed the whites of his eyes have a small yellow color to them. Should I rush him into the ER? Could this be cancer or something that could kill him?

How yellow are they? Because I've found that sometimes if the eyes are really bloodshot, the clusters of veins can "appear" to have a yellow tinge. But, either way, it could be a build of bile in his system due to a problem with his gallbladder (such as gallstones), pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), or something else, However, these things really are not that serious or life threatening. Does he have any pain anywhere in his back or abdomen?

I'm 22 and my eyes constantly have a yellow tinge :) this is not one if my HA fears and iv never had it checked but iv never had any problems. If he's had tests I'm sure he's fine :) x
