Symptoms of hepatitis A range from mild to severe, and can include fever, malaise, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal discomfort, dark-coloured urine and jaundice (a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes). [who.int]
However, malaise, anorexia, and fatigue are common, sometimes with low-grade fever and nonspecific upper abdominal discomfort. Jaundice is usually absent. [merckmanuals.com]
Typical cases of acute HAV infection are marked by several weeks of malaise, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and elevated aminotransferase levels. Jaundice develops in more severe cases. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Another form of test a doctor may order is a liver biopsy. A liver biopsy involves removal of a tiny piece of the person's liver through a needle. Their doctor examines the piece of liver for signs of damage and hepatitis C. [disabled-world.com]
A small sample (biopsy) of the liver is likely to be taken to look at under the microscope. This can show inflammation and the extent of any scarring of the liver (cirrhosis). See the separate leaflet called Liver Biopsy for more detail. [patient.info]
