Have you been tested for Gilbert's syndrome? They say it is a disease from natural selection from Malaria. All jaundice related conditions have a degree of protection against Malaria.
- mmsimanga 7y agoNo never been tested for Gilbert's syndrome. I must confess I have never heard of it or anyone referring to it. > All jaundice related conditions have a degree of protection against Malaria. I guess this is the general advice I was given
- Tharkun 7y agoActual testing for Gilbert's isn't done all that often. It's usually diagnosed when otherwise healthy bloodwork shows elevated levels of unconjugated bilirubine. It's been shown to offer some protection against heart disease, and it can cause mild jaundice, and stools that are a bit more on the yellow side.
