What are common signs of hepatitis?

Dark colored urine and jaundice
Fever and sweating
Pale skin and loss of balance
High blood pressure and tachycardia

The correct answer is: Dark colored urine and jaundice

Common signs of hepatitis include dark-colored urine and jaundice. Hepatitis, which is inflammation of the liver, can lead to a build-up of bilirubin in the bloodstream. This accumulation causes jaundice, characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes. Dark urine occurs due to the liver's decreased ability to process bilirubin, which increases and is excreted in urine. Recognizing these signs is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis, as they indicate significant liver dysfunction that requires prompt medical attention. The other options do not specifically relate to the gastrointestinal and liver-specific symptoms associated with hepatitis.
