Constitutional Hepatic Dysfunction treatment in Ciudad de México

Constitutional hepatic dysfunction usually refers to mild, genetically based changes in liver function, as occurs in Gilbert's syndrome, in which the processing of bilirubin is not entirely efficient, generally without damage to the organ.

How it presents: it is frequently asymptomatic; in some cases a slight yellowish tint of the skin or eyes may be noticeable, appearing and disappearing, especially during fasting, stress, or fatigue.

Origin: it is a hereditary variation of liver metabolism, usually considered benign.

Specialist who evaluates it: the gastroenterologist is the one who can confirm the origin of these changes and rule out other causes. If a test has mentioned altered liver values or an intermittent tint, it is a good idea to discuss it with a professional to fully understand its meaning.
