Hereditary hyperbilirubinemias
Radlović Nedeljko (Faculty of Medicine, Belgrade + University Children’s Hospital, Belgrade)
Inherited disorders of bilirubin metabolism involve four autosomal recessive
syndromes: Gilbert, Crigler- Najjar, Dubin-Johnson and Rotor, among which
the first two are characterized by unconjugated and the second two by
conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Gilbert syndrome occurs in 2%-10% of general
population, while others are rare. Except for Crigler-Najjar syndrome,
hereditary hyperbilirubinemias belong to benign disorders and thus no
treatment is required.
