Gilbert Syndrome

Gilbert syndrome is a common genetic disorder affecting bilirubin metabolism in the liver. This autosomal recessive condition leads to mild to moderate unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, often presenting as recurrent episodes of jaundice. The prognosis for individuals with Gilbert syndrome is excellent, and the condition does not lead to significant liver disease. However, patients with Gilbert syndrome may have an increased risk of drug toxicity when exposed to medications that affect bilirubin metabolism. Patients with Gilbert syndrome typically have normal liver function tests aside from elevated unconjugated bilirubin levels. The condition is generally asymptomatic and does not require treatment, but several factors, including fasting, illness, menstruation, and dehydration, may trigger symptoms. Diagnosing Gilbert syndrome involves excluding other causes of hyperbilirubinemia. This activity for healthcare professionals reviews the etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, recommended evaluation, and management of Gilbert syndrome and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in improving the quality of life and outcomes for patients with this genetic disorder.
