Gilbert Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
If a routine test shows slightly elevated bilirubin or an occasional yellowish tint, a frequent explanation is Gilbert syndrome. It is a hereditary and benign condition in which the liver processes bilirubin somewhat more slowly than usual.
How it shows up: Many people have no discomfort; a slight yellow coloring may be noticed in the eyes, especially with prolonged fasting, stress, infections, or tiredness.
Common causes: A genetic variant that reduces the activity of a liver enzyme.
Which specialist assesses it? The general practitioner or the pediatrician can guide the case, and the gastroenterologist provides support when greater precision is required. Since Gilbert syndrome is confused with other liver problems, it is advisable to confirm it in a consultation.
