Gilbert's Syndrome

"Gilbert's syndrome is a genetic liver disorder in which the liver cannot properly process bilirubin. People with this syndrome do not produce enough liver enzymes to keep bilirubin levels normal, leading to excess bilirubin building up in the body (hyperbilirubinemia). As a result, Gilbert's syndrome may present with dark-colored urine or clay-colored stool, dizziness, diarrhea, nausea, flu-like symptoms, and loss of appetite. Gilbert's syndrome does not require any treatment. The high bilirubin levels in the blood may fluctuate over time and lead to jaundice occasionally, which usually resolves on its own with no side effects.
