In a diabetic 60 year old female smoker. Has regular bloods I presume so surely they would be told if any kidney problems?

Liver problems?

Would that not be picked up in her routine diabetic blood tests? The yellow is just a tinge, could it be smoking related? She's smoked moderately for 30 years or so

Liver would be my first thought, I would assume she needs her LFTs taking.

No it won't be staining from tobacco it will be a liver problem. She should see someone ASAP.

Do they take statins ? I have a slight yellow tinge occasionally,my gp tells me it is a common side effect, my liver tests are normal.

Yes she does take statins, thanks for all help. Hard to bring up health with some people If they a bit sensitive about it
