Abstract: | Hemolytic anemia usually gives rise to only a modest elevation of serum bilirubin. Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia of an extreme degree should raise suspicion of additional factors. We describe a 10-year-old child suffering from hereditary spherocytosis, who had unusually high levels of unconjugated serum bilirubin and was diagnosed to have Gilbert syndrome on the basis of genetic analysis. |
