Due to bilirubin buildup in the urine
Serum bilirubin
From the glossary of medical terms the answer is: BILIRUBIN
The color of Bilirubin is orange Bilirubin is an orange color pigment in the bile
Light yellow eyes can be a sign of jaundice, which is caused by a buildup of bilirubin in the body. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment that forms when red blood cells break down. Jaundice can be a symptom of liver or gallbladder problems, so it's important to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

bilirubin
Jaundice is a symptom, often the result of liver failure and a buildup of bilirubin -- a red-yellow salt, in which the skin and sclera appear yellowed. This symptom has been observed for thousands of years.
When the erythrocytes are destroyed, haemoglobin breaks down, the heme part of it goes through a series of transformation: Heme → biliverdin (green pigment) biliverdin → bilirubin (orange-yellow pigment) Bilirubin + blood albumin → bound bilirubin (in peripheral blood) Bound bilirubin + glucuronic acid → conjugated bilirubin. (in liver) Conjugated bilirubin + intestinal bacteria → several pigments, including - stercobolin (orange-brown pigment, excreted in feces) and - urobilinogen (reabsorbed into bile/blood, finally excreted in urine)
yes
Raised bilirubin is a symptom
Liver makes bilirubin water soluble for excretion into the urine....get total bilirubin from complete CFP...
