Hyperbilirubinemia Unconjugated Conjugated (total bilirubin의 80% 이상) (total bilirubin의 50% 이상) 1. 과형성 - hemolysis 1. 간실질 장애 - 급, 만성 간염, 간경변 2. 운반장애 - heart failure - portosystemic shunt 2. 간외 담즙정체 - 담석, 췌장염 - 악성종양(담도암, 췌장암) - 간흡충증, 회충 3. Conjugation 장애 - Gilbert 증후군 - Crigler-Najjar I, II 3. 선천성 간 배설장애 - Dubin-Johnson 증후군

Normal Bilirubin Metabolism Gilbert Syndrome Increased Bilirubin production Biliary obstruction

Gilbert Syndrome 1. Chronic indirect hyperbilirubinemia의 가장 흔한 원인( 약 68%) 2. 전체 인구의 3~10%에서 발견됨 3. 간세포에서 bilirubin이 glucuronide conjugation되는 과 정에 관여하는 효소(bilirubin-UGT)의 부분적 결핍이 원 인 4. 혈청 total bilirubin; 1. 2 ~ 3 mg/d. L (< 7 mg/d. L) 5. 진단; 1) 만성적으로 경미한 indirect hyperbilirubinemia 2) 간질환의 징후가 없고, 다른 간기능검사는 정 상 3) hemolysis가 배제된 경우(Hb, reticulocyte…)
