The causes of jaundice are classified as pre-hepatic, hepatic, or post-hepatic, so obviously there is something going on with the liver if jaundice is present...
Here's some information about jaundice and the link where you can read more on this topic:
"The causes of jaundice are classified as pre-hepatic, hepatic, or post-hepatic in origin. Pre-hepatic jaundice occurs when red blood cell breakdown, or hemolysis, produces bilirubin faster than the liver can metabolize it. Hepatic jaundice results from primary and secondary diseases within the liver that interfere with the liver cells' ability to metabolize bilirubin or excrete it normally into the biliary tract. Post-hepatic jaundice can result from obstruction to the flow of bilirubin-containing bile within the bile duct or from injury that causes leakage from the gallbladder or bile duct."
