Gilbert syndrome

Gilbert's syndrome is an inherited (genetic) liver disorder that affects the body’s ability to process

bilirubin

. People with Gilbert's syndrome don’t produce enough liver enzymes to keep bilirubin at a normal level. As a result, excess bilirubin builds up in the body. Excess bilirubin is known as hyperbilirubinemia.
While typically not requiring treatment, it's important to confirm the diagnosis and discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider.
