Q: what is the cause of elevated bilirubin in young man,more than 2 years? bilirubin is 31(norm <17)no gilbert syndrome

Many possible causes: ... ranging from problems with the gallbladder or bile duct to liver problems to problems with metabolism. If you know that Gilbert syndrome is not present, you must have seen a physician about this in the past. If a diagnosis still has not been made, I would ask to see a hepatologist for more definitive testing. Good luck.

Q: since im having gilberts syndrome do i need to follow any diet?

No: Gilbert syndrome is a benign liver disorder and requires no treatment or specific diet.

Q: can regular uv exposure help manage my gilberts syndrome?

Don't think so...: The phototherapy for newborns with jaundice is not ultraviolet light, but a particular wavelength of blue light (420-470nm). Uv light is used for treating some patients with psoriasis. The very mild jaundice in gilbert's syndrome does not need treatment.

Q: bilirubin level of 80 to 110 due to gilbert syndrome is dangerous or otherwise. thanks ?

Q: what is gilbert syndrome and do i have to take some sort of precaution with my diet? what causes this syndrome?

Hereditary: It is a liver dysfunction that you are born with. It is supposed to be mild and usually symptom-free. There is not special diet needs, but healthy eating is always good. Drink enough water, maintain a good lifestyle - avoid more than minimal alcohol, etc. See link: http://www.Drweil.Com/drw/u/id/qaa400184 you should be okay. Best!

Q: can marijuana treat gilberts syndrome?

No: Gilbert condition is NOT a disease and needs no treatment. Marijuana is an unpurified plant material, each batch having unknown differences from other batches, each dose having many different compounds, affecting various parts of the body in both known and unknown ways, with harmful effects to some parts of one's mind and body... and thus is not like a purified modern medicine. Never smoke things!

Question 1

is gilbert syndrome harmful?

Accepted Answer

Gilbert Syndrome: Gilbert syndrome,  constitutional hepatic dysfunction or known as  familial nonhemolytic jaundice, it is inherited disorder of the liver. It results in an overabundance of a substance known as bilirubin. Some people develop yellowing of the skin or eyes, but many have no symptoms at all. Gilbert syndrome is not dangerous and does not cause long-term problems, it is not necessary to treat Gilbert syndrome.

Question 2

i have gilbert syndrome my bl is8.5 what you suggest for me?

Accepted Answer

Do nothing: I&#x27;m going to assume this is gilbert&#x27;s and that you do not also have ongoing hemolysis; your physician can tell. The best thing to do for gilbert&#x27;s is nothing. Phenobarbital will lower the lab, doing you no good and making you chronically tired. A few people with a relatively more rough gilbert&#x27;s allele do have some troubles; a gastroenterologist knows how to help.

Question 3
