What Are The Symptoms Of Gilbert Syndrome?

Hello sir, recently I have diagnosed with 'Gilbert syndrome' due to deranged LFT (High level of Direct & Indirect Bilurubin) , I am little surprised because they have orally informed me for this disease & have not done any confirmed diagnosed test. now I am facing lot of fatigue & weakness in routine life. I would like to understand what is my actual problem & what will be the future complication for me in case if i will have Gilbert Syndrome.

Gilbert syndrome doe not need any treatment. You can get genetic studies done to confirm the diagnosis, but these are expensive and not essential to make a diagnosis. Your symptoms are probably not due to Gilberts syndrome.
You won't have any problems in future because of Gilberts syndrome, The only complication is that people with Gilberts syndrome cane develop sever reactions to certain drugs which are used to treat cancer.
