Can Elevated Level Of Bilirubin S And Gilbert S Syndrome Lead To Liver Disease?
My 24 year old daughter has elevated bilirubins of 1.9. She is in the Air Force and they continue to check her on a monthly basis and have told her she has Gilbert s Syndrome. Her bilirubin s have been raised since she had mono about 5 years ago. Should she seek a specialist- she is very worried and scared of liver disease. Thank you

Hi
You are saying that your daughter has high bilirubin 1.9 but you are not mentioned if she has high liver enzymes like ALT and AST.
if she has only slightly elevated bilirubin without high liver enzymes, the most prabably diagnosis is Gilbert syndrome.
Gilbert syndrome has nothing to worry about. No treatment.
