Crigler-Najjar Syndrome Type II
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When an inherited disorder of bilirubin metabolism is suspected, the first referral for a child is the pediatrician. Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II, also called Arias syndrome, is a genetic disorder in which the liver processes bilirubin incompletely, causing this substance to rise in the blood.
How it presents: The most visible sign is a yellowish coloring of the skin and the whites of the eyes, which can be persistent.
Origin: It stems from an inherited reduction in the activity of a liver enzyme responsible for transforming bilirubin.
When to seek care: If the yellow coloring is prolonged or recurs, it is worth discussing with the pediatrician, who may draw on liver specialists to study the case carefully.
