Not a disease!: Gilbert's syndrome shows up as a mildly elevated "bilirubin" level on your blood chemistry analysis. (bilirubin is a break-down product of the hemoglobin molecule from your red blood cells.) gilbert's syndrome is normally present in some folks, does not cause harm, and there's no cure needed. Not to worry. Now, if the remainder of your liver function tests are elevated, ask your doctor. Lgromkomd.

Gilbert's disease: No, there is no cure. Gilbert's disease is an inborn error of metabolism resulting in an increase in unconjugated bilirubin in the blood stream. It does not cause any symptoms other than occasional jaundice, usually only when there is an underlying infection or some other form of stress. Bonus: people with Gilbert's often have low risk of heart disease. Hope that helps.
