General anesthesia in a patient with Gilbert's syndrome
J Anaesthesiol Clin Pharmacol.

Abstract
Gilbert's syndrome, caused by relative deficiency of glucuronyl transferase is the commonest cause of congenital hyperbilirubinemia. We report anesthetic management in a case of Gilbert's syndrome for laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. Avoiding drugs which use this enzyme for its metabolisim or excretion, and minimizing the stress during the perioperative period allows safe conduct of anesthesia for these patients.
Keywords: Anesthesia; Gilbert's syndrome; bilirubin; jaundice.
