A member asked:

Healthy young man. total bilirubin :23 umol/l (< 21umol/l); slightly high. liver enzymes, fbc, renal, lipid etc are normal. had 2 similar results. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gilbert's: The vast majority of folks like you have gilbert's non-disease. It's not a problem and the treatment (phenobarbital) will just turn a healthy man into a sick man. The entity to rule out, even if you're not anemic, is a mild hemoglobinopathy.
