Is Gilbert's Disease Lethal?
A friend of mine has blood shot eyes and a little jaundice. Some days it comes and goes. He has had a lot of test done everything has came back normal except for a slightly elevated bilirubin. So they have dx him with Gilbert's disease. Will this disease kill him? Please help.

Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist.
Gilbert's disease is a benign disease. It will never harm your friend. The bilirubin will increase and will become normal spontaneously. Dont require any treatment.
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you . Wish you a good health
