Gilbert syndrome

fa·mil·i·al non·he·mo·lyt·ic jaun·dice

[MIM*143500] mild jaundice due to increased amounts of unconjugated bilirubin in the plasma without evidence of liver damage, biliary obstruction, or hemolysis; thought to be due to an inborn error of metabolism in which the excretion of bilirubin by the liver is defective, ascribed to decreased conjugation of bilirubin as a glucuronide or impaired uptake of hepatic bilirubin; autosomal dominant inheritance. Synonym(s): benign familial icterus, constitutional hepatic dysfunction, Gilbert syndrome
