Yellow Eyes in Lagos?
Jaundice Always Needs Urgent Investigation.

Name: Jaundice Treatment Lagos
Creator: Mascot Healthcare

Yellowing of the eyes (scleral icterus) or skin (jaundice) means bilirubin is accumulating in the body, always indicating a liver, blood, or bile duct problem. At Mascot Healthcare, Akoka, we assess jaundice systematically, liver function tests, abdominal scan, and malaria RDT on the same visit. See prices.
