They thought I had liver cancer but I didn't.

That sucks.
So what was wrong then???

Gilbert's Syndrome

It's google time!!! :p




(that is so my new way of saying I'm ignorant.)







Wiki works just as well...

It's rare, doesn't do much (I'm less likely to have a heart attack actually), and is pretty much forgettable.

Gilbert's syndrome (pr. Zhil-bear), often shortened to the acronym GS, is the most common hereditary cause of increased bilirubin, and is found in up to 5% of the population. The main symptom is otherwise harmless jaundice which does not require treatment, caused by elevated levels of unconjugated bilirubin in the bloodstream (hyperbilirubinemia).

The source of this hyperbilirubinemia is reduced activity of the enzyme (glucuronyl transferase) which conjugates bilirubin and some other lipophilic molecules. Conjugation renders the bilirubin water-soluble and suitable for excretion via the kidneys.

Gilbert's syndrome was first described by French gastroenterologist Augustin Nicolas Gilbert and co-workers in 1901.[1]



Sad that I understand most of that.

That's good.


It would suck if you died.
If you did would I be invited to your funeral???

Everybody will be, I'll have it televised. :)

DO I get to read your eulogy??? :o

That job's taken, you can pass out snacks if you'd like though.
