it is very distressing to have a hospitalized family and not know what is going on. i hope that my response gives you some relief. without knowing your aunt's age or medical history and having only some basis symptoms to consider it is difficult to nail-down any specific disorder. but i will try to give you three common possibilities as follows: pancreatitis - inflammation of the pancreas usually due to digestive enzyme interference where digestion is activated in the pancreas instead of the intestine. although you did not mention abdominal or back pain it is a hallmark symptom of pancreatitis. excessive alcohol consumption is the root cause for the majority of pancreatitis cases. viral hepatitis - inflammation of the liver due to a viral infection. viral hepatitis may be acute with a sudden onset or chronic symptoms occurring over time. it comes in a b c d & e types. obstructive jaundice - may be caused by blocked bile ducts and is seen in some liver disorders. i hope that your aunt becomes well soon and that you gain clear and accurate information quickly.
