I agree its gilbert's.....as these people usually have non-symptomatic hyperbilirubinaemia.What is criggler Najjer 1 and 2....is there a way in differentiating them?
Also can anyone explain to me rotor's and any other congenital 'syndrome' which leads to hyperbilirubinaemia/jaundice.I always get these things confused!!
