General Surgeon,  's  Response
Gilbert's syndrome is marked by the impaired conjugation of bilirubin due to reduced bilirubin UDPGT activity to approximately 1/3 of normal.
Patients with Gilbert's syndrome have a mild unconjugated(Indirect) hyperbilirubinemia with serum levels almost always (6 mg/dL). The serum levels may fluctuate, and jaundice is often identified only during periods of fasting. More elevated values are associated with stress, fatigue, alcohol use, reduced caloric intake, and intercurrent illness. GS is most often diagnosed at or shortly after puberty or in adult life during routine examinations.
Unconjugated bilirubin(Indirect) is always bound to albumin in the serum, is not filtered by the kidney, and is not found in the urine.Jaundice without dark urine usually indicates indirect (unconjugated) hyperbilirubinemia and is typical of the common and benign form being Gilbert's syndrome.
I suggest you not worry about your disease as it is a benign form and mild disease.
You will have to avoid exertion and tyring jobs.
Hope i have answered all your queries.
WISH YOU GOOD HEALTH.
