Gilbert’s syndrome is characterized by the increased levels of bilirubin. Bilirubin is not a harmful substance of the body, but with increased levels, this can bring an alarm to the person for it can result to discoloration. Bilirubin is a result of the breakdown of our red blood cells. Normally, liver enzymes of the body break down the bilirubin as this is usually excreted in our stools. Bilirubin gives color to the stools and urine for breakdown results to bile, but as they are excreted small amounts of bilirubin stays in the blood.
