What medicine shall take to control my Billirubin level?
Patient: Hi, i have gilberts syndrome. It doesn t really bother me that much it s just the mild jaundice i get from it. I eat well, exercise all things i need to do, but it still bothering me. I have been to my doctor but he said i don t need treatment because it s only mild. Is there any drug i could take to rescue the billirubin? thanks ash Doctor: Thanks for posting your question on HCM!I appreciate your concern towards the bilirubin level.Gilbert's syndrome is a benign, familial disorder characterized by intermittent jaundice. It is due to low activity of the conjugation in the liver which normally detoxifies the bilirubin in our body.Gilbert's syndrome doesn't require treatment. The bilirubin levels in your blood may fluctuate over time and you may occasionally experience jaundice. But this usually goes away on its own, and it doesn't cause any ill effects.Each doctor you visit should be told that you have Gilbert's syndrome, so any medications can be selected with this in mind.Lifestyle modifications:Eat a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables. Avoid extremely low-calorie diets. Stick to a routine eating schedule and avoid fasting or skipping meals.Avoid alcohol, manage stress, consider exercise or quiet time alone to cope with stress.Take care of your health.
