What Is Gilbert's Disease?
9. Medical Treatment
It is not necessary to treat Gilbert’s disease. The condition will do no harm to the patient in the short term or in the long term. Even when the patient does develop jaundice, they are in no danger of harm. The symptom will pass in time with no lasting damage being done.
Bear in mind that although Gilbert’s disease and jaundice are not dangerous, jaundice can be caused by serious problems. Just because you have Gilbert’s disease, it does not necessarily mean the condition is always the cause of jaundice. If you have other symptoms that make you suspect something else is wrong, make sure to speak with a doctor.
