Guest guest Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Has anyone successfully helped a patient with Gilbert's syndrome? A young woman police officer consulted me today. She had consulted her G.P. complaining of tirdness. Two sets of blood tests showed raised birirubin and she was diagnosed with Gilbert's syndrome. This is a genetic deficiency of UGT enzyme which is responsible for helping the liver cells process Bilirubin. Apparently some people with Gilbert's syndrome report other symptoms - most commonly: tiredness, mild weakness, mild abdominal pains and mild nausea. However there does not seem to be any relationship between these symptoms and the level of bilirubin in the blood. That seems strange to me because one would have thought it was the raised level of bilirubin that would give rise to these symptoms. Urine analysis by myself showed +++ levels of urinobilinogen and bilirubin. Would standard liver herbs be effective here? I was thinking of Tarax. fol / rad and Bupleurum.
