Hi
I have gone through your query & understand your concern.
Dark colored urine with clay colored stools point towards obstructive jaundice. Hepatitis C does not cause such symptoms. Feeling of weakness & depression can be consequences of hepatitis C infection. Clinical examination & laboratory investigations are required to rule out gallstone disease & obstructive jaundice. Kindly have these investigations done & follow-up with report ;
