Dr, Is This Indicativeof Gilberts Syndrome?
Question: Dr,
Is this indicativeof gilberts syndrome?
Is this indicativeof gilberts syndrome?
Brief Answer:
You can have Gilbert's syndrome.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for the query, my dear,
This is indicative of the fact that an individual is likely to develop Gilbert's syndrome but it's not necessary that every person with this genetic code develops it. But as you are Western very likely your bilirubin would be elevated(please get it checked).
A sure shot test for Gilbert's is to get your liver function test and the total bilirubin test is done. If bilirubin is elevated with normal other liver functions it's Gilbert's.
The good news is that this is a harmless syndrome and nothing further is to be done after diagnosis.
Follow-ups are welcome.
Thank you and regards

Hi Dr,
All liver enzymes are normal and unconjucated bilirubin is 1.3 and conjugated is 0.35 and hgb is normal so I guess I do have gilberts syndrome, is that correct?
Thank you Dr
Some people with this genetic mutation can also not have elevated bilirubin dr? Is this what you are saying. What determines who gets gilberts and who dont with the mutation?
