Gilbert’s syndrome

 Also called: unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia, familial nonhaemolytic bilirubinaemia or constitutional hepatic dysfunction.

What is Gilbert’s syndrome?

Gilbert’s syndrome is a common liver condition. It can run in families and does not usually cause serious problems.

Most people have few or no symptoms and may not even know that they have it. But this is not the case for everyone with the condition. Find out more here: Living with Gilbert’s Disease.

Gilbert’s syndrome is often diagnosed by accident when you have a routine blood test for another reason. Most people are diagnosed in their teens or early 20s.

The information on this page is for adults with the condition. You can find information for children and young people on the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation page here.
