Blessures musculotendineuses à répétition survenant sur un terrain métabolique perturbé : à propos d'une observation de maladie de Gilbert chez un sprinter de niveau national

Gilbert's disease is a constitutional disorder of bilirubin glycosilation in the liver. Physical exercise increases free bilirubin in blood, and the disturbance of the liver's metabolic activity could be the origin of muscular and tendon injuries. The diagnosis of Gilbert's disease is made through biological tests, which are necessary as prevention can obviate critical situations. Other metabolic constitutional disorders could be responsible for similar situations, therefore in cases of frequent muscular and tendon injuries, accurate biological investigations must be made.
