Abstract :

Gilbert�sSyndrome, a common cause of congenital hyperbilirubinemia, is caused by deficiency of glucuronyl tranferase enzyme in the liver. It is important for anaesthesiologist to understand the pathophysiology of the disease as well as conditions leading to decreased glucuronyl transferase activity. We report anaesthetic management of a case of Gilbert�s syndrome posted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia.
