causes
Crigler-najjar
gilbert
crigler najjar pathophysiology
type 1 type 2
absence or decrease of
glucoronyl transferase
crigler najjar types
type 1 : AUTO recessive ( absenvce of GT)
type 2: AUTO recessive + pseudodominance( decreased GT)
crigler najjar prognosis
only type 2 survive to adulthood
type 1 die in infancy due to unconjugated bilirubinaemia
conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia
Dubin jhonson ( auto recessive)
ROTOR syndrome
crigler najjar type 1 rx
immediate liver tranplant
gilbert syndrome patho
glucoronyl transferase deficiency
same as crigler najjar type 2
gilbert syndrome
trigger
self limitting:
fasting
infection
alcohol
kernicterus ?
neurological impairement due to bilirubin toxicity
eg type 1
crigler najjar
gilbert syndrome labs
all LFT are normal
MILD HIGH UNCONJUGATED BILIRUBIN
FLU + Jaundice + NORMAL transaminases =
not hepatitis
but gilbert syndrome
cirrhosis labs
abnormal albumin
and
clotting factors
