Guide To Preventing And Treating Gilbert Syndrome

Gilbert’s syndrome is a liver condition that is harmless and common. It happens when the liver does not process bilirubin properly. Bilirubin occurs when red blood cells are broken down. The syndrome is congenital, meaning the patient is born with it. Usually, the condition is found accidentally when a doctor is performing various blood tests. It is characterized by having a yellowish tinge to the skin from time to time. This is because the bilirubin levels may rise, causing some jaundice. The condition can be enhanced by dehydration, illness, lack of sleep, and fasting.
