Propofol: Gilbert's syndrome (the liver is impaired in excreting bile pigment/bilirubin) is surprisingly common. Maybe 2-5% of Ameicans have the problem. Most don't even know. In general, propofol has the same safety profile for patient's with Gilbert's as w/o.However, if you have a poor diet, drink alcohol every day then you can be so liver toxic that ANY anesthetic is a bad idea
