Gilbert Syndrome: Digitaldairies360

What is Gilbert syndrome ?

Gilbert syndrome is a common disorder passed down through families. 

It affects the way bilirubin is processed by the liver, and may cause the skin to take on a yellow color jaundice times.

CAUSE:

Gilbert syndrome affects 1 in 10 people in some white groups.

 This condition occurs due to an abnormal gene, which is passed from parents to their children.

SYMPTOMS:

• Jaundice.
• Diarrhea and Nausea.
• Discomfort in abdominal region
• Fatigue/cold exposure
• Emotional / Physical stress
• Long time no eating.
• Water not enough drinking
• Sleeping not enough
• Infections
• recovering from surgery
• menstruating

Diagnosis:

Although people are born with Gilbert syndrome, sometimes they don’t get diagnosed until their 20s/30s. Your doctor might find high bilirubin levels in a blood test that's done for another reason.

These levels can go up and down over time. A single blood test might not pick up Gilbert syndrome.

If your bilirubin levels are high, your doctor might order a liver ultrasound or liver function tests to rule out other problems. Gene tests can also be used to diagnose Gilbert syndrome.

Treatments:

Most people with Gilbert syndrome don't need treatment. Jaundice doesn't cause any long-term problems.
