Patient's question:
A newborn baby has been diagnosed with jaundice and Gilbert's syndrome. What should be done about this symptom?Doctor's answer:
Hello, Gilbert's syndrome is a common genetic disease, primarily characterized by liver dysfunction and non-hemolytic hereditary hyperbilirubinemia, with a good prognosis and no need for special treatment. If the degree of jaundice is high, it can rapidly increase the activity of glucuronidase in liver cells, reducing the level of bilirubin in the blood. It is recommended to undergo genetic testing for further confirmation of the diagnosis before the next treatment!
