Are you one of those people who are affected by the scourge of Gilbert's disease? Do you feel that you are helpless against the pain and discomfort that it brings? If you do, here are the top three sets of questions that you might want to ask and be answered. Through these, you can get direct answers to questions that hound your mind and can even help you recover-emotionally-as well.

Question number 1: "What causes Gilbert's disease? Do a viral infection or bacteria cause this condition or can this be passed on in some other way? Is Gilbert's disease a chronic disease?"

Answer: the abnormal number of the bilirubin in the blood causes Gilbert's disease, it is not caused by any viral or bacterial infection. It can be passed on through the blood. Gilbert's disease is known to be hereditary and it remains dormant inside the body for a long time.

Question number 2: "How can you find out if you already have Gilbert's disease? Are the symptoms of Gilbert's disease can be associated with jaundice and other liver diseases is this true? How does one find out if his or her condition is Gilbert's disease? Are there any specific symptoms?"

Answer: You need to be aware of the differences between the symptoms and the signs that are associated with Gilbert's disease and other liver diseases. Even though, there similarities the differences are also there. Unfortunately, Gilbert's disease sharing the same symptoms with other diseases is true but if you can look into it further you can spot the minute difference.

Question number 3: "Is there any new method to alleviate, or treat, the symptoms of Gilbert's disease - yellow eyes, stomach pains and uneasiness? Is it due to the excessive amounts of bilirubin in the blood?"

Answer: You have my understanding. This inherited condition (hereditary) affects just about two to five per cent of the population. It is considered that the situation occurs as a result of troubles in metabolizing the bilirubin. There are more than a few forms of the condition that can be distinguished on biochemical testing. As an outcome, the levels rise and clinical jaundice that you graphically depict occurs.

The condition appears to be not as good as after fasting and during a mild illness. The jaundice then fades instinctively. There is no cure. You ask particularly if there is any new way to reduce the symptoms. I feel sorry that I have been unable to find out if there are any commercial or clinical treatment for Gilbert's disease.

This condition though is a fairly common sickness mostly amongst the Caucasian population. It's passed down all the way through families and not frequently considered being life menacing, but ought to still be diagnosed by a medical doctor. The syndrome compromises the body's capacity to process bilirubin in the liver and causes jaundice. Bilirubin is the yellow substance found in bile. Although the main and most general symptom is jaundice, there are as well quite a lot of other symptoms that you and your physician should be on the lookout for if you think you could have the syndrome.

You have to be very vigilant when it comes to understanding Gilbert's disease and the knowledge related to it because it changes constantly as doctors learn more about it. be aware that what can be the truth about it today can be different tomorrow.
