| Abstract | Title: Gilbert’s syndrome: a study of 12 observations and review of the literature Gilbert’s syndrome is characterized by a mild or moderate elevation of unconjugated bilirubin, with normal liver function and no evidence of hemolysis. It is a benign inherited disorder of bilirubin metabolism, with a worldwide prevalence of nearly 10%. It has a variable pattern of inheritance, with genetic polymorphism. Diagnosis is based on a confirmatory provocation test, such as the fasting test, although the definitive diagnosis requires a genetic study. The prognosis is good and, at the present time, the varied effects of hyperbilirubinemia are a matter of debate. The cases of Gilbert’s syndrome diagnosed in the pediatric service of a university hospital in recent years were reviewed and the main characteristics are described. |
