Abstract
|
|
|
The Gilbert´s syndrome is a very rare form of inherited congenital disorder of the bilirubin metabolism, showing benign clinical course and it is often first noted on routine physical examination or blood tests even in the adult patients.
It is considered that the fundamental pathogenesis of the indirect hyperbilirubinemia in Gilbert´s syndrome is a defect in the transport and uptake of bilirubin by the hepatic parenchymal cells, in contrast to the Crigler-Najjar syndrome which is associated with a congenital deficiency or lack in glucuronyl! transferase and characterized by grave clinical outcome, such as kernicterus and early death after birth.
A case of Gilbert´s syndrome who was a 22 years old Korean girl was reported and discussed about the congenital disorders of bilirubin metabolism briefly.
