Hi,

That yellowish discoloration is due to hyperbilirubinemia and darkness of urine due to high level of Urobilinogen.

As you have mentioned, you are having Hepatitis B. You should consult hepatic clinic as early as possible because it may get worsen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
