Enter Shikari

Enter Shikari are a British rock band formed in St Albans in 1999 by bassist Chris Batten, lead vocalist and keyboardist Rou Reynolds, and drummer Rob Rolfe. In 2003, guitarist Rory Clewlow joined the band to complete its current line-up, and it adopted its current name. In 2006, they performed to a growing fanbase at Download Festival as well as a sold-out concert at the London Astoria. Their debut studio album, Take to the Skies, was released in 2007 and reached number 4 in the Official UK Album Chart, and has since been certified gold in the UK. Their second, Common Dreads, was released in 2009 and debuted on the UK Albums Chart at number 16; while their third, A Flash Flood of Colour, was released in 2012 and debuted on the chart at number 4. Both have since been certified silver in the UK. The band spent a considerable amount of time supporting the latter release through the A Flash Flood of Colour World Tour, before beginning work on a fourth studio album, The Mindsweep, which was released in 2015. Their fifth studio album The Spark was released in 2017. Their sixth album Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible was released in April 2020. Their seventh and latest album, A Kiss for the Whole World, was released on 21 April 2023 which gave them their first-ever No. 1 album.

Enter Shikari have their own record label, Ambush Reality. However, they have also signed distribution deals with several major labels to help with worldwide distribution. Their eccentric musical style combines influences from rock music genres with those from various electronic music genres.

Beginnings (1999–2006)
In 1999 a band named Hybryd formed, consisting of Rou Reynolds on guitar and vocals, Chris Batten on bass guitar, and Rob Rolfe on drums. They released an EP called Commit No Nuisance, which featured the tracks "Perfect Pygmalion", "Look Inside", "Torch Song", "Honesty Box" and "Fake". In 2003, with the addition of guitarist Rory Clewlow, Hybryd became Enter Shikari. The band was named after Shikari, a boat belonging to Reynolds' uncle. In a 2011 interview, Rolfe explained that: "Shikari is a Hindi word for hunter." After the band's line-up and name change, Reynolds focused his musical efforts on vocals and electronics instead of guitar.

During 2003 and 2004, the band released three demo EPs (Nodding Acquaintance, Anything Can Happen in the Next Half Hour and Sorry You're Not a Winner) that were available from their gigs and their website, featuring original versions of some songs that were eventually re-recorded for their debut album, Take to the Skies. They would frequently make appearances at their local music venue, The Pioneer Club, where they would play alongside other local bands. They had another demo EP planned for release in 2005 (no such EP materialised, although recordings surfaced online). For this the first versions of "Return To Energiser" and "Labyrinth" were recorded. Early versions of "OK Time for Plan B" and "We Can Breathe in Space" were also recorded around this time but it's unclear if these were destined for the EP. It was at this time that Kerrang! Radio's Alex Baker picked up on the band, and as he didn't have a physical release to play, he streamed "OK Time For Plan B" off the band's Myspace page, straight onto the airwaves.

In August 2006 they released a video of the single "Mothership" which became the single of the week on the iTunes Store. Their first physical single featured re-recorded versions of "Sorry You're Not a Winner/OK Time for Plan B", which had previously been featured on one of the demo EPs. It was released on 30 October 2006. It was limited to 1000 copies of each format and sold out within the first week of release. In mid January 2007, Enter Shikari's first single, "Mothership", entered the UK singles chart for one week at number 151, on Downloads only (despite its physical formats not being eligible for charts [at the band's request]). This was followed a week later by "Sorry You're Not a Winner/OK Time for Plan B", which charted at number 182 on the singles chart (despite its physical formats being ineligible for charts [at the band's request]) and number 146 in the Download Chart. In addition "Sorry You're Not a Winner/OK Time for Plan B" featured on the EA Sports video game titles NHL 08 and Madden 08. Enter Shikari secured a spot on the Gibson/Myspace stage at 2006's Download Festival.

They also had interviews with popular music press such as Kerrang! and Rock Sound. On 4 November 2006, they became only the second unsigned band to ever sell out London Astoria (the first being The Darkness).

They also made the NME's "New Noise 2007", a list of the bands it considers most likely to achieve success in the coming year (previous years lists have included the likes of Arcade Fire, Hot Chip and Bloc Party).

The next single released was "Anything Can Happen in the Next Half Hour", on 5 March 2007. This was the band's second single to be released from their forthcoming debut album. It contained a re-recorded version of the song "Anything Can Happen in the Next Half Hour". It reached 27 in the Official UK chart.

The band released a compilation album titled The Zone just after the debut album, this contained various demo tracks and previously released singles.

Take to the Skies (2007–08)
The band's debut album, Take to the Skies, was released on 19 March 2007 and on 25 March it reached number 4 in the UK Official Album Charts. It contained re-recordings of many of the songs that had featured on the demo EPs and singles that were released prior to the release of the album.

During the month of March 2007 it was announced they would be playing at Download Festival, Reading and Leeds Festivals, Give it a Name, Glastonbury Festival, Oxegen festival in Ireland and Rock am Ring in Germany. On 30 March 2007, Enter Shikari announced that their next single would be "Jonny Sniper" and would be released on 18 June. The song's video was premiered on 21 May. The single received bad reviews from NME.

Enter Shikari had performed over 500 times by 2007 and played on the Gibson/MySpace stage at 2006's Download Festival. On 14 May 2007, Enter Shikari started their first North America tour. This was followed by three more North American tours.

On 13 May 2008, the band released the first in a series of videos called "Enter Shikari: In the 'Low". The videos, posted on the band's YouTube page, showcased the band as they recorded their new single, "We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Don't Want Us To Escape", and demoed new material. One of the new songs set to feature on the album was "Step Up", which was first performed at Milton Keynes Pitz on 28 June 2008, the warm up show to Projekt Revolution the following day.

Common Dreads (2009–2010)

It was confirmed by NME that Enter Shikari had finished working on their second album, Common Dreads, in March 2009 and announced that they would tour the UK and Europe during 2009. They also made available a free download of a new song, "Antwerpen", from their website. On 15 April 2009 "Juggernauts" was played on Radio 1 as Zane Lowe's "Hottest Track in the World" and was released as a single on 1 June 2009 with "All Eyes on the Saint" as its B side. The band also had help from musician Danny Sneddon who helped with the recording of "Juggernauts". On 1 May Kerrang featured their track-by-track of the album. Metal Hammer were the first to review the album online with a track-by-track.

Common Dreads was released through Ambush Reality on 15 June 2009 and debuted at No. 16 on the UK top 40 album chart. The second single to be released from Common Dreads was "No Sleep Tonight". The 7-inch vinyl, CD single and MP3 download was released on 17 August 2009. A slightly modified version of the song "Wall" was released as a radio single, and a video for the song "Zzzonked", made of clips of a live show played at Norwich UEA, was also released.

A 2-disc version of Common Dreads was released in January 2010. Frontman Rou Reynolds announced that "we've got a different artist for each single from Hospital Records to do drum "n" bass remixes so we'll be releasing that as a 12". Then we're doing the same thing with (dubstep label) True Tiger who've done a dubstep remix of each single." However it was later said in a Radio 1 interview that in fact they were only having their main singles remixed.

The single "Thumper" was released on 19 January 2010, on BBC Radio One, as well as the new single "Tribalism", which was first played on Radio 1 on 16 February 2010. These songs come off the new B-sides and remixes album Tribalism, which was released on 22 February 2010.

Throughout February–March 2010, Enter Shikari joined the Australian summer festival Soundwave along with other bands such as A Day to Remember and Architects, playing shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. The band then continued to tour Japan with A Day to Remember and Escape the Fate and in April–May 2010, they served as a support act, along with August Burns Red and Silverstein on A Day to Remember's Toursick.

On 18 and 19 December, Enter Shikari hosted two Christmas Party shows at The Forum in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. Special guest supports included Rolo Tomassi, Young Guns, Dark Stares, Don Broco and The Qemists. The audio from the shows was released via the band's limited edition box-set Live from Planet Earth - Bootleg Series Volume 3.

A Flash Flood of Colour (2011–12)
On 14 June 2010, Enter Shikari announced that they had returned to the studio to do a "one off new track" called "Destabilise" which was released as a download on 26 October 2010, and a limited edition coloured 7-inch vinyl on 29 November 2010.

In June 2011, the band signed to Hopeless Records in the US, and embarked on the Vans Warped Tour for the second year in a row.

In mid-2011, the band released another one-off single called "Quelle Surprise" before releasing the first single, "Sssnakepit" and "Gandhi Mate, Gandhi" in September and December, respectively, off their third album.

The band released A Flash Flood of Colour on 16 January 2012, and played three album release shows in London, Kingston upon Thames, and Leeds.

At the end of the first week of the album being released, the album reached number four in the U.K charts.

Later that year, the band began their first tour of A Flash Flood of Colour in February by heading out to Tokyo, Japan for one show, before playing Soundwave Festival, including a couple of "sideshows" on their off-days. The band continued their tour across the world, travelling to the United States, South Africa, Europe, Reading and Leeds Festivals, Pukkelpop, FM4 Frequency Festival, Sonisphere in Spain, T in the Park, Rock am Ring and Rock im Park, and many more, ranging from the end of May to the start of September.

In Summer 2012's Kerrang! Awards, the band scooped "Best Live Band" for the second time, along with Rou Reynolds winning 'Hero of the Year.' They were also nominated for best album, but lost out to Mastodon.

In November 2012 the band announced the launch of their own beer "Sssnakepit", a 5% lager brewed in conjunction with Signature Brew, which was launched in Manchester and sold on the "A Flash Flood of Christmas" tour at venues across the UK.

The band were also nominated for Best British Band and Best Live Band at the Kerrang! Awards 2013, but lost out to Bring Me the Horizon and Black Veil Brides respectively.

Rat Race EP (2013)
In April 2013, the band released a non-album single named "The Paddington Frisk", later announcing that it was part of a then unnamed three track EP due for release later that year (Rat Race EP). On 5 June 2013, the band announced via their official Twitter that they were recording a video for the new single "Radiate", which was first played by Zane Lowe on his Radio 1 show on 10 June. The song was his Single of the Week. 5 months later, "Rat Race" was released, the three tracks were then amalgamated into the Rat Race EP, along with a trance remix of "Radiate" created by Reynolds' side project – Shikari Sound System.

The band headed out on an extensive tour of the UK and Ireland throughout April and May, purposefully playing in towns that don't usually get shows, as a thank you to those fans who usually have to travel to larger cities all the time to see bands. Support for the tour was Hacktivist. This tour was the first time the songs "The Paddington Frisk" was played, as well as "Juggernauts" b-side "All Eyes on the Saint" from 2009

The Mindsweep (2014–2016)
In late 2012, bassist Chris Batten said that the band will begin working on their fourth studio album after their current touring has finished sometime in 2013. However, Batten also affirmed that the album would not be ready for release in that year.

On 8 October 2014, the band announced that their fourth album would be titled The Mindsweep, and would be released on 19 January 2015. The album was anticipated by singles "The Last Garrison" and "Anaesthetist". In addition, two tracks were also released between November and December 2014: "Never Let Go of the Microscope" and "Slipshod". On 12 January 2015 they put for the streaming on their website the entire new album. In May 2015 they covered System of a Down's Chop Suey! for Rock Sound's compilation Worship and Tributes, while in June they participated at Ultimate Rock Heroes compilation by Kerrang! with a cover of "Know Your Enemy", originally by Rage Against the Machine. On 30 October they released their first remix album, The Mindsweep: Hospitalised, featuring remixes from drum and bass label Hospital Records artists.

On 12 January 2016, a single called "Redshift" premiered on Annie Mac's show on BBC Radio 1. Another new single called "Hoodwinker" premiered on Daniel P. Carter's show on BBC Radio 1 on 9 October 2016.

On 25 August 2016, the band announced a live album for their February 2016 Alexandra Palace show. It was initially due for release on 4 November 2016, however it was delayed until 18 November 2016 due to manufacturing issues.

On 8 November 2016, Enter Shikari were announced as headliners for Slam Dunk Festival 2017.

The Spark (2017–2019)
On 1 August 2017, Enter Shikari announced their new album The Spark with its lead single "Live Outside". The album was released on 22 September.

To promote the album, the band toured UK, Europe, Japan, and North America on their The Spark World Tour.

On 15 February 2019, the band released a pair of limited edition live albums, ''Take to the Skies. Live in Moscow. May 2017 and Live at Alexandra Palace 2 both of which were recorded in 2017 on their Take to the Skies 10 Year Anniversary Tour and their The Spark World Tour''.

In 2018 the band embarked on an extensive tour of the UK, Europe, and Scandinavia, entitled "Stop the Clocks", during which they performed a new song of the same name. The band released the song as a single on 12 August 2019 shortly before their performances at the 2019 Reading and Leeds Festivals where they played 5 different sets across the weekend. Following this, the band resumed their Stop the Clocks tour with a twelve-date American leg, which singer Rou Reynolds said would "bring the whole "Spark-era" full circle."

Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible (2020–2022)
In an interview with Kerrang while the band was in Australia for Good Things Festival, they revealed their next album will be the "most definitive Shikari record to date" and will feature something from every album.

On 10 February 2020, a new single called "The Dreamer's Hotel", stylised as { The Dreamer's Hotel }, premiered on Annie Mac's show on BBC Radio 1. The same day, they announced that their new album would be called Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible and would release on 17 April 2020. An accompanying music video was released for The Dreamer's Hotel on 5 March 2020, almost a month after the initial release. The video features an unusual use of over-the-top rainbow effects, fitting with the rainbow motif of the album. "The King" was the album's second single, released on 8 March 2020. Frontman Rou described this track as a "lesson in patience and forgiveness" to Kerrang as they have worked on this single song for such a long time. "T.I.N.A." was the third single released on 22 March 2020. The title stands for "there is no alternative". Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible hit No. 2 on the UK album charts on 30 April 2020, 13 days after its release on 17 April. This was the band's fifth album to reach Top 10 and the third consecutive major album.

On 16 April 2021, they released Moratorium (Broadcasts from the Interruption) without advance notice. It includes songs from their past two albums that have been reworked, re-imagined, recorded live or as acoustic renditions.

On 24 November 2021 through 10 February 2022, Enter Shikari headed out for a brief European tour with a sold-out headline show at Alexandra Palace. On 16 July 2022, the band released their film, Live at Vada, directed by Tom Pullen.

On 17 November 2022, band released a new song named "Bull", recorded in collaboration with Cody Frost. The official music video released the same day.

A Kiss for the Whole World (2023–present)
Simultaneously with the release of the single, "(Pls) Set Me on Fire", the band's seventh album's title was revealed on 12 January 2023 as A Kiss for the Whole World. The album was released on 21 April 2023, and debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart—their first to do so.

Musical style, lyrical themes and influences
Enter Shikari's musical style has been variously described as alternative rock,  electronic rock,  post-hardcore,  electronicore (which they are considered to have pioneered), experimental rock, post-rock, and on their early releases, metalcore  and synth-metal. It is recognisable for combining rock music (especially punk rock and hardcore punk) with elements of various electronic music genres, including drum and bass, dubstep,   techno, electronica and trance. It features breakdowns, heavy metal and hardcore-influenced instrumentation, dub-inspired "wobbles", anthemic choruses, drum and bass tempos and an alternation between sung, screamed (or occasionally growled) and rapped vocals, with all members contributing to vocals.

Enter Shikari's lyrics, written by frontman Rou Reynolds, are often politically charged. In a 2015 interview, Kerrang! Magazine wrote: "With Shikari a rare, political voice on the UK rock scene, Rou remains baffled by bands 'labelling themselves as punk that aren't speaking about anything of importance'. 'To us it's second nature,' he says. 'It's what this music is for. If you take out the social commentary, it's not punk, it's just noisy pop.'" At the same time, Reynolds "[doesn't] care if people don't read the lyrics" and only "appreciate Shikari as a noisy pop group". Although not all of the band's lyrics are political, "even when [Enter Shikari write] a love song, [Reynolds wants] to make sure [they] reclaim the love song from all the shit, vapid love songs on the charts." He also stated that the band's general message is that "if we base our lives around love and unity, then that's all that matters."

Political issues that the band have written about in their lyrics include – climate change and the misuse of natural resources, Donald Trump's presidency of the United States, the use of nuclear weapons and the United Kingdom's Trident nuclear programme, the privatisation of the UK's National Health Service, and capitalism.

Enter Shikari's lyrics have also centred around more personal themes throughout their career, such as lead singer Rou Reynolds' anxiety, depression, mental illness, self-pity and the loss of a loved one or idolised celebrity figure. Their album The Spark in particular delves more into personal issues within the band, with Reynolds stating in an interview with The Independent, regarding lyrical themes: "What I was trying to do with this album in marrying the personal and the political is to ensure that human vulnerability is laid bare, and to not be afraid to speak about emotions." He elaborates by stating that "I don't think I could have done it [writing more personal lyrics] before this record. So much happened over those two years [since the release of their previous album], globally and in my personal life, so before. I was kind of comfortable. I have a very finely attuned cringe muscle, I don't like writing about things that have been written about a thousand times. Some of it is maybe even a self-confidence thing, feeling as though I don't have much to offer in terms of art that helps other people. But seeing as 2015 was the year of hell for me, it wasn't just that I wanted to write a more personal record, I had to. There was no way of not doing it".

In an interview following the release of A Flash Flood of Colour, guitarist Rory Clewlow stated that the band's influences are numerous, but include Refused, the Prodigy, At the Drive-In, Sick of It All, Rage Against the Machine, the Beatles, Igor Stravinsky and The Dillinger Escape Plan, and that "most of [their] sound was originally developed through going to see local acts in and around [their] home town."

Rou Reynolds has cited British pop music from the 20th century as being a major influence on his songwriting, particularly on their album The Spark, with The Beatles, The Damned, Joy Division and New Order being key influences on him.

Ambush Reality
Ambush Reality is an independent record label owned by Enter Shikari. Although originally it was exclusively for the release of Enter Shikari's albums and songs, on 21 July 2014 the band announced via Facebook and Twitter they were releasing a song by Nottingham hardcore band Baby Godzilla (now known as Heck). Formed in July 2006, it is co-owned and run by the members of the band and their friends. The band has decided that, to tour in the United States, they had to sign with a major record label in America. On 28 August 2007, Ambush Reality said that Take to the Skies came out in North America in October 2007, with Ambush Reality joining Interscope Records imprint Tiny Evil. Ambush Reality signed a distribution deal with Warner Music to make the album Common Dreads and future releases more accessible outside the UK and also more widely advertised and promoted. As of 8 December 2010 Enter Shikari / Ambush Reality have left distribution through Warner and will distribute throughout UK/Europe/Japan/Australia via PIAS Entertainment Group. As of 21 June 2011, Enter Shikari's releases in North America are via independent record label Hopeless Records.

Side projects
Reynolds has produced music as part of a side project with the name "Rout", which he sometimes performs in small venues and before shows. He previously used the names "Shark & Blitz" and "Routron 5000". The music develops on his penchant for electronics, resulting in a drum and bass/jungle/dubstep sound. Some songs feature samples of Rou and friends fooling around as well as iconic lines from movies or songs. His most recent EP, released for ActionAid, features samples from ActionAid's project work in Ghana.

Rolfe also DJs under the moniker "Sgt. Rolfy", regularly playing slots at the band's aftershow parties. He plays a range of sounds, including trance, drum & bass, dubstep and even classical and parody tunes too.

Clewlow released his first remix, simply as "Rory C", for Don Broco's track "Priorities", from their new record in 2012.

Reynolds has also set up his own clothing company, Step Up Clothing.

On 25 April 2013 the band announced a side project called Shikari Sound System, an alter-ego of the group. The band announced it on their Facebook page straight after they had been announced to play at Reading and Leeds Festival during the summer. Frontman Rou assured fans on his Twitter page that it would be "The same 4 scallywags but playing a live dance set". Shikari Sound System played their debut set at The Reading and Leeds festivals and were joined by members of hardcore band Hacktivist as well as Danny Price who now regularly hosts SSS DJ sets. Shikari Sound System were announced for Slam Dunk Festival on 24 February 2016 and have done regular slots in the UK and Europe.

In 2017, Rou Reynolds released a book named Dear Future Historians, a song-by-song lyrical analysis of the band's work including photos. By popular demand, the book was revisited and expanded in 2019 to include music released since its original publication, and received another strictly limited edition run.

In August 2020, it was announced that Enter Shikari would become the main sponsor of their hometown team, St Albans City Football Club. In 2022, Chris Batten signed on with the football club to play one football match against Dagenham & Redbridge F.C. to raise money to support those affected by the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.

In August 2023, it was announced that Enter Shikari have entered into partnership with The Pioneer Club, the venue where they began performing, and Headliner Group, a music and tech media company, to form Headliner Spaces. Headliner Spaces was set up with the aim to reinstate The Pioneer Club as a touring-circuit grassroots venue and also to have a wider reach into the community. They subsequently auctioned off pieces of Enter Shikari memorabilia such as Reynolds' Kaoss Pad, used most notably on 'Sorry You're Not a Winner' with proceeds going to The Pioneer Club Charity. As part of the partnership, the band also donated £1 from every ticket sold for the 2024 promotional arena tour for their album, A Kiss for the Whole World, to UK-based grassroots venues affected by the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the nationwide cost-of-living crisis and gentrification.

Talk:Gilbert's syndrome

Outdated
Gilbert's syndrome is much more than hyperbilirubinemia. UGT1A1, UGT1A6, and UGT1A7 (enzymes deficient in most people with Gilbert's syndrome) deal with much more than just bilirubin. This wiki page is outdated and inaccurate because it fails to mention what other substances the enzymes process and the effects of their deficiency in people with Gilbert's syndrome, theoretically speaking. It needs to explain the work of the enzymes and offer a reasonable hypothesis on the effects of the enzyme deficiencies, with references to related research as proof. This outdated wiki page needs to be updated with complete information.

Two questions about this condition
My mum believes she has this condition, and suspects that I also might. This would be interesting, as I have been diagnosed with another condition mentioned on this page. However, she tells me that it is particularly common in people of Irish ancestry, and that it is advisable for those with the condition to avoid alcohol and wheat/gluten - none of which are even remotely mentioned in this article. Is there anything to back these theories up?--MartinUK (talk) 22:28, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Treatment
With the large number people dealing with this condition everyday, and a portion of them reading this must be wanting to know what treatment is advised, as I do. I've seen numerous articles on the internet making advice which didnt seem to be based on the facts. I can see plenty of facts here on the wiki, but not being a doctor myself, could someone please write about treatment of Gilbert's syndrome purley based on the facts we know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.139.121 (talk) 23:24, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

It's just hearsay, but there seems to be a huge overlap in symptoms between Celiac disease and the "elevated frequency of symptoms" in Gilbert's. A bit of googling shows me that many people with Gilbert's have had success with going on a Celiac diet. It worked for my mum (and technically my grandmother as well, though she was undiagnosed her entire life), and it seems to be working for me. Totally unscientific, though. Someone with a bio degree should do a study. :D68.148.104.28 (talk) 15:21, 26 November 2009 (UTC)Blair
 * Wish I'd noticed this before I made my post above. Would an absolute strict Coeliac diet be needed, or would simply avoiding large amounts of gluten (ow merely wheat?) be important?--MartinUK (talk) 22:41, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Stem cell treatment is said to work well for this syndrome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CE4E:E310:F190:5B8D:817D:F456 (talk) 20:41, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Disagreement with picture of Bilirubin molecule
Bold text GS interferes with more than just the conjugation of Bilirubin. For example, UGT1A1 also degrades C18 steroids. So why not picture one of them instead of the most visibly affected compound?

I think it would make much more sense to picture either UGT1A1 in the infobox, or have an infobox about a disease, or have an infobox about the TA7 mutation. But bilirubin is kind of on-topic but not as relevant as the infobox display would imply. Heathhunnicutt 19:18, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I was the person who added the bilirubin image earlier today, and I removed it per this objection. I have no objection to Heathhunnicutt's proposal. --Arcadian 03:19, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Arcadian. I was thinking, how cool would it be if we had a photo of Bilirubin before and after, with the UGT1A1 enzyme shown as the intermediary.  How does art get done for the Wikipedia?  Do I just advertise for an artist on craigslist, or what? Heathhunnicutt 16:59, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Previously
It would be good to add information regarding what causes high bilirubin episodes. Also, there is another similar deficiency, which can lead to death: the G6PD deficiency. Elp_gr

 * In what sense do you consider G6PD and Gilbert's similar? JFW | T@lk  10:11, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

 * In that they both cause haemolysis - triggered by different causes, of course, but you still get it. I happen to have both Gilbert's and G6PD deficiency. Elp gr 15:59, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Gilbert's does not cause haemolysis. It is a disorder of glucuronidation. JFW | T@lk  02:20, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * This whole thing puzzles me. Elp gr 15:26, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Improvements to Coping Strategies
I guess it is clear that a better and more thorough synopsis of the research in this area is needed as outlined below: --Ben Houston 16:26, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I've added a section on problematic foods and drugs/substances as well as on recommended foods. Right now it is in a list format but I don't find it to be as concise as it should be.  Many of the foods are listed for different reasons and the current format doesn't allow easy denotation of that.  I am thinking that maybe a few table based format would work with columns that give reasons for each food would work better.

 * A column in the table could also point to the references (in numeric citation form or something similarly compact) that support the classification of the food. Currently, I have combined a couple of web pages together to make the list and thus it is not fully sourced on any one page.  In all honesty, I feel that the list is fairly decent, and provides people with something to go on but I do not think it is 100% accurate.  Personally, I need to learn more about the various liver pathways and then reference specifically that each food or substance taxes the relevant pathways.  Also the good foods may not be specifically good for Gilbert's syndrome but rather just good for those with decreased liver function.

Revert to 27 Jan
The (conventional) clinical definition is of mild elevation in bilirubin, with only symptom being of occassional mild jaundice. Leaving aside more severe disorders of bilirubin metabolism, most people with GS do not report symptoms, indeed most cases are found by chance on routine blood tests. To use the term 'many' to describe those who report symptoms is POV, as it is only a minority who so report. 'Some' is therefore NPOV (my own preference of 'rarely' I suspect might be seen by others as POV in the other direction).

Many doctors prefer the term Gilbert's condition as syndrome suggests a collection of disease symptoms, where as this 'thing' is present in upto 10% of the normal population and most doctors would therefore view it almost as a normal varient. The 'risk' is that unrecognised, it might be wrongly inferred that a patient is developing a liver disorder such as acute viral hepatitis, whereas in reality the patient is well and will remain so; the patient is therefore at risk from their doctors of undergoing lengthly series of further blood tests & investigations for what will turn out to be a benign, non-infectious condition. The true cause of a patient's new onset of illness therefore may go unrecognised whilst GS is identified.

The dietary changes suggested are not accepted by conventional medicine, and are therefore 'alternative' in nature. Given that conventional medicine therefore disputes these suggestions, they are de facto 'controversial' (again I would suggest this is a NPOV term, whereas my own thoughts might be of 'alternative', 'pseudoscience', etc etc).

There were some useful additions to the list of claimed symptoms that I have left in (to claim something is NPOV) and I agree better to describe "people with GS" rather than "GS sufferers".

If people dispute my revisions and wish to edit, please can you ensure WP:Verify and WP:Cite to help in any further discussions. David Ruben Talk 04:41, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Support the revert. The pathophysiology is well understood. At the levels of bilirubin normally experienced in GS, no symptoms apart from mild itch are usually present. JFW | T@lk  00:31, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It's hardly a normal variant, as several enzymes necessary for glucuronidation, one of the body's main detoxification systems, are reduced to a small fraction of their normal levels. Shambala 22:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

discovery age
I once heard that it is usually discovered in puberty and that girls hence usually show symptoms sooner than boys. Is that correct and should it be included?

If it is of any relevance, I know someone with this syndrome personally.

Nemo.shark (talk) 01:58, 24 March 2011 (UTC)i have Gilbert's syndrome and from my understanding of the condition and my experience it is most likely picked up during a routine liver function blood test and it is most likely that the condition will not be picked up or recognised at all by a doctor if the individual tested is prepubescent! as the sex hormones at puberty are substrates of the deficient enzymes which then impair the function of those enzymes, which in turn raises the levels of bilirubin (which is also a substrate of the same already deficient enzyme) in the blood to a point where it shows on the blood test as a concern. i can confirm i had full blood works carried out as a child and at age 11 with no abnormality's detected and later at age 14-15 with very high levels of bilirubin which indicated i had the condition. be aware that high bilirubin is actually a diagnostic indicator of the condition! and the actual condition is deficient enzyme activity or production which impairs metabolism of that specific but not exclusive substrate and having said that i would say there are possibly variations of the condition within the general population who have deficiency's of the other enzyme deficiency's as well as unrelated ones not involved in the condition which have not been detected because they do not involve metabolism of bilirubin!!! scientists should look in to this!!!!. (nemo.shark)

 * NO - it normally is not identified at all - most people with the condition are without any symptoms. Its commonest identification is as part of normal liver fuction blood tests undertaken for other medical reasons. At 5% of the western-world population, many doctors prefer to call this 'Gilbert's condition' (rather than something that suggests a disease) and view it as a normal varient. There are of course other more severe disruptions to metabolism of bilirubin than Gilbert's and there shoud be relevant articles about these conditions. David Ruben Talk 03:05, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

 * So some fraction of people with GS have symptoms, and the rest are forced along with the ride? I have GS also, and I have no symptoms at all.  I found out about it during a routine blood test, and they were all "OMG, the Bilirubin level is way too high, this isn't good."  After a number of tests from a liver specialist, he concluded that it must be GS, as there were no further indicators.  I hardly bother mentioning it to doctors anymore, because I've never even had mild jaundice from GS.  It really didn't come up until I was speaking with my gynecologist regarding hormones, and we ran a liver panel, and I was astute enough to tell him that I had Gilbert's Syndrome, so fortunately, when the tests came back, and I had some 4.9 mg/dl, the doctor didn't freak out.  I agree that I have a fairly low level of Billirubin from what is typical for most people with GS, but I still have elevated Billirubin levels, and I still have GS, and I've never had any symptoms. If you run a site about GS, then you're going to get people who have symptomatic GS, and not asymptomatic GC (Gilbert's Condition), because the people with GC just don't care, because it doesn't affect their life. --Puellanivis 21:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Pellanaivis -- I see from your user page that you are a biological man who is undergoing transgendering via hormone therapy involving estrogen. I see from your above comments that you have GS.  Are you aware that GS also slows the metabolism of estrogen and other C18 steroids?  How has this impacted your transgendering plan, from start to finish? Heathhunnicutt 00:27, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm putting the response to this in my talk page, as I feel it likely has a greater relevance there than in this article. As a short answer, I was unaware of this, and I appreciate the feedback. --Puellanivis 18:41, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I discovered my GS by accident, during a check-up at the doctors. I have read the symptoms, and I found that I don't remember getting any of them. So, what Puellanivis says is good. Hmm...After re-reading my comment, I have discovered there is no point in saying this. Hooray! YazzaMatazza 10:37, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

citation needed/found
Frome this artile "More controversially, some patients report experiencing unpleasant physical symptoms during episodes of high bilirubin levels. These may include persistent or meal-related fatigue, dizziness, tremors, nausea, abdominal pain, and "brain fog", with or without jaundice[citation needed]. There is some evidence that Gilbert's syndrome also reduces the liver's ability to detoxify certain chemicals; it may be wise to avoid drugs that tax liver function, such as paracetamol."

 * Is Action on Gilbert's Syndrome a decent source. if it is it mentons this on What is Gilbert's Syndrome?.  Is it a source or is it some randome person on the web.  I had a tough time a few years ago when all of thoes side effects listed hapened to me and i had alot of Blood test to find out what wrong.  Afterwords i found the sight but my parece told me the sight wasn't true.

 * Another metnion of just "Symptoms of this defect in liver detoxification are anorexia (loss of appetite), malaise (weakness), fatigue, a chronically elevated serum bilirubin level and a slight yellowing of the white of the eye in the absence of hepatitis." and this page is already citted in the artile. actually same as Action on Gilbert's Syndrome is already under links it could be copied to refrences.

Acetaminophen Metabolism
The information on acetaminophen (Tylenol) has gone back and forth a bit, but it's settled on an answer. Here's what happened:

There was an original study that showed that people with GS had 31% slower processing of acetaminophen, so it was thought to be processed by UGT1A1, the enzyme deficient in GS. The advice given was for people with GS to avoid acetaminophen. Later experiments showed that acetaminophen was actually processed by UGT1A7, and so acetaminophin was given the green light for people with GS. Later still, it was shown that most people with the UGT1A1 mutation also had an even worse mutation in UGT1A7. This explained the results of both the previous studies, and justified the results of the original experiment - that people with GS should avoid acetaminophen (Tylenol).

I've updated the article with references to each of these three studies. Shambala 12:34, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * It would be worthwile, then, to update the page on acetaminophen/paracetamol as well, as it still lists UGT1A1 as one of the enzymes that metabolizes it. The quote from the paracetamol page states: "Glucuronidation by UGT1A1 and UGT1A6 accounts for 50–70% of the drug metabolism." The reference cited at the end of the sentence after that links to a PubMed article published in 2013 that lists these two enzymes as acting upon acetaminophen, and it does not list UGT1A7 at all. There does not appear to be any errata published for that article so either the study cited in the paracetamol article is wrong, or the articles you found are wrong, and I am nowhere near scholarly enough to figure out which one is correct. Lumberjane Lilly (talk) 18:09, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

regarding symptoms
I apologize if my posts/edits are inexpert. I've been reading Wikipedia a long time and have just started editing. I take issue with the "More controversially" part, as I have been diagnosed with Gilbert's Syndrome and have had these symptoms for a long time. From every source I have found on the web from those who actually have it, I have seen these symptoms described. How is it that doctors can invalidate this widespread report of similar symptoms? In truth, there hasnt been many studies on Gilbert's Syndrome, and lack of knowledge is no reason to invalidate the reported symptoms of a population. Shambala 02:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

 * The web, I'm afraid is not generally a good primary source for establishing accepted/consensus medical opinion on specific diseases. Published peer-reviewed research and subsequent peer-reviewed journals' scientific debate are not reviewed, but rather often one website replicates information found on other sites. The information may or may not be correct, but the number of sites stating an idea is poorly correlated to veracity of checking from primary sources.  As an example, the London Lock Hospital is often mistaken for the Albert Dock Seamen's Hospital, the first being world's first venereal disease hospital, the other would become the first tropical disease centre - look here for how same phrasing wrongly duplicated in multiple sites on performing  Google "Dock Hospital" - page 2 onwards).
 * That aside, Gilbert's is medically considered a benign asymptomatic/usually non-apparent condition (i.e. only occasionally causing symptom of mild jaundice, but being more issue of a laboratory result's significance being wrongly pursued for a possible active hepatitis). So if there are chronic symptoms arising from this condition, then that is controversial in as much as it is in conflict with the current definition of the condition. Is the medical formal description of the condition wrong ? It is possible, there certainly seems to be a lack of evidence to either support or refute the claim. However a possibility, until there is evidence, remains a conjecture and in the absence of citable primary evidence would fail under WP:NOR criteria for inclusion in wikipedia.
 * One person's symptoms can not of course infer much, and may be due to some other unrecognised condition. Might not such a collection of people with GS be suffering from one of a number of similar poorly-recognised conditions, e.g. mild lactose intolerance or a mild variety of chronic fatigue syndrome (I’m not saying they are, but one could speculate) ?
 * The presence of the websites with claims of more than one patient may of course suggest a real link to GS. Care naturally has to be taken, one could find thousands of people with GS who have heart disease, but as 1 in 3 of the general population die from heart disease anyway, this is not of any special significance. However, if studies were ever to show rates of heart disease in GS being different from that of the general population, then the effect would be proven.
 * So, collective claims of illness as a consequence of GS needs to be supported by epidemiological evidence - have such studies been performed ? If so, then they need to be cited and the symptoms linked to GS would not be "controversial" (depending upon the findings of such studies we would then no doubt be discussing terms such as "sometimes", "rarely", "occasionally", "typically", "often") David Ruben Talk 04:36, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

-No one is going to study a condition that is considered benign. The disease has been diagnosed in me and one other person in my family. I'm relatively certain others in my family are undiagnosed and mainly asymptomatic except for visible jaundice. GS is far from asymptomatic in my case or in my cousin's, otherwise neither of us would have ever been diagnosed, although our symptoms differ. He complained of chronic stomach aches and my symptoms would be best described as a fatigued/impaired state when in any of the situations leading to jaundice. While this disease won't kill me, it does greatly affect my quality of life. Why I suffer more than others who undoubtedly share the syndrome, I'm not sure, but I have no doubt these and other symptoms come out of some general problem in my liver. Various of these symptoms and conditions are well established in my family tree and are all linked to liver function. It could be GS is just part of a grouping of problems or deviations associated with this organ. It is however offensive to say it's mainly something noticed in a lab by doctors and otherwise "harmless." Although I understand an encyclopedia wants to have mainly only widely accepted statements. I think a lot of people who've been diagnosed with GS might disagree with the known medical description though. 15:16 September 25, 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.197.244.23 (talk)

Look GS sufferers (myself included) I want the straight answer, are the symptoms some have requiring a source so we blame GS or is there an actual connection to GS. I'm looking for somebody that was diagnosed 40 years ago and can tell how his/her health has been for their entire life? I mean are the GS patients "with" symptoms suffering from some other disorder? I've also wondered WHY all the websites out there (about four main ones) are British based. Going off the high estimate there are 30 million people in the USA with GS(670 million for the world population). That is a staggering number to only have 4 UK websites and some appear to be for financial scams! One appeared to be profiting by selling a e-book on what foods to eat and the like. Could there be levels of GS disorders or what. Add your two cents please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pavelow235 (talk • contribs) 03:39, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I started to suffer from "brain fog", fatigue and nerves during my early 20s, about 6 years ago. My GP diagnosed me with Gilbert's Syndrome, via a blood test.  I later moved interstate and my new GP argues against my first doctor's assertion that GS would be the cause of my symptoms.  I have no medical knowledge and I am wary of trusting any website but I have seen those pages that correlate my symptoms with Gilbert's Syndrome.   Anyway, in recent times, I have found that a Vitamin B supplement (including B12) over the counter from the chemist has helped me enormously.  Within 4-5 days, my nerves were much more settled, the brain fog had disappeared and I am nowhere near as tired.  As I say, I have no medical background at all but this may help some people.  I still have no idea if my symptoms were related to GS or not but the Vitamin B helped.  Fairly sure it wasn't just a placebo effect for me.  Hope this knowledge can help someone else.  Perhaps a real medical student or researcher out there can do a study to determine if there is a link between the two?  202.138.16.49 (talk) 10:11, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Whilst there are people who have Gilberts syndrome without any symptoms not everyone is so fortunate. Working shifts tempts me to put any fatigue down to just that but I can't blame my jaundiced eyes on them. From pale yellow to the yellow of a New York taxi cab when I had to take some antibiotics (!!!) I have struggled with trying to look professional at work and to not dislike what I see in the mirror at home. There is no information on what sort of make up could be worn to disguise the tinges of yellow and I can't seem to find any colours that improve it...the only thing perhaps would be for me to start wearing bright lipstick to divert peoples focus to them. With regards to supplements: There is some suggestions on using milk thistle (can be taken in a capsule or drank as a tea) to detoxify the liver. Whether taking a vitamin B supplement makes you feel better or is the placebo effect if it works for you then you could see if you can stay focused when you stop taking it. I have had quite bad concentration levels/ brain fog which has improved with me taking gingko biloba. I also try to look after myself: force myself to try to sleep more when on nights, balanced diet, making time to relax. I try to minimise how much paracetamol I take if I need it although not all research supports that GS causes increased chance of paracetamol toxicity. Although I'd rather not take that risk - paracetamol toxicity is rather nasty. (Mindymoo1 (talk) 03:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC))

Vaccination recommendation
I'm not familiar with a specific recommendation targeted at patients with Gilbert's syndrome for hep A and hep B vaccinations. Anyone else out there more knowledgeable about this? Andrew73 11:42, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of this. In fact, I know of a few people with GS (including myself) whose symptoms became permanently worse shortly after hepatitis vaccinations. I've commented this out as it could be dangerous, and I see no reason why it would be helpful. Shambala 22:36, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I have GS, and I have received exactly this recommendation from my GP. I got the vaccination series and experienced no GS symptoms.  I have experienced terrible GS symptoms in the past, for example when I had mononucleosis and became very jaundiced for many weeks.  The Hep B vaccine is a protein, not even a killed virus.  All it will do is generate an immune response, and nothing it does will be liver-specific.
 * On the other hand, a Hep B infection will be very, very, bad for someone with GS. This was my GP's advice, and I followed it.  That makes my statement not citable, but WP:OR.  However, I think you are very wrong.
 * For those of you physicians who doubt that GS patients notice GS, please stop doubting. I went to physicians many, many times and asked them why I was so ill.  I would be tired, nearly exhausted, and become somewhat jaundiced.  I came to believe that my mononucleosis infection might actually have been chronic hepatitis or something.  I would go to doctors with slight jaundice, a headache, exhaustion, and a cold.  They made marks in my chart about how they knew I had GS but was a bit of a hypochondriac and should not be told.
 * Finally, I gained access to a detailed liver panel test taken from my own blood. My ratio of unconjugated:conjugated bilirubin was 5-times higher than expected!  So I went to a new GP with my 'proof' and he finally was the doctor who told me that I have GS.  Now, I'm completely not worried about it.
 * Whether people should or should not get the hepatitis vaccination to go with GS is not something I am an expert on. I can definitely say that I got it and suffered no GS-related symptoms.  However, since GS-related disorders are a spectrum, it is possible that some who have been diagnosed with "GS" actually have a more severe disorder of bilirubin conjugation.  Perhaps the vaccination could harm such people, but I can't imagine how.  Namaste, Heathhunnicutt 22:40, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Caveat: I already had Hep A antibodies, so there was no need for me to get the Hep A vaccine. The Hep A vaccine is "attenuated" by passage through cell types that aren't its normal habitat.  Perhaps vaccination with attenuated Hep A virus really could cause symptoms in a GS patient.  It is hard for me to see how such symptoms could be permanent, though.  I really can't see how it is in any way possible that Hep B would cause a problem, and I would be sort of surprised if Hep A did, even though the Hep A vaccines are live virus. Heathhunnicutt 23:03, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

 * For myself, the vaccination was one of several events during the onset of my symptoms which could have brought them on (the others being severe food poisoning and simply getting older), but I've talked to others who have had symptoms intensify soon after the vaccination. Thinking that hepatitis would be worse for someone with GS seems to make sense, but I havent heard evidence of this. There's also talk that the mercury (previously? still?) used in the vaccinations can cause long-term problems. At any rate, you're right, it's WP:OR. It shouldnt be in the article. And I'm glad you found a doctor who would talk to you about it. Keeping GS secret seems to be a not uncommon practice. Shambala 12:16, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * No, Shambala, I'm right that my experience was WP:OR, but the question of whether that is common practice remains open, and you haven't produced any evidence other than your gut feel. Also, no there is no longer mercury (thimerosal) in very many vaccines, and there is ample evidence that thimerosal was harmless to begin with. (See Talk:MMR_Vaccine). Heathhunnicutt 00:19, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

 * The burden of proof rests on the one making the claim. Shambala 22:50, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

 * That is laughable, considering the level of 'proof' you have brought in comparison. Heathhunnicutt 16:03, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Highest bilirubin
What is the highest billirubin ever recorded for someone with gilberts, mine has been up to 179 mmol/dl --Dr. B

Mine reached 7 mg/dl — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4040:2BCD:0:F02A:EC83:6DD6:90FD (talk) 22:16, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Bilirubin excretion
In this article it is stated that by conjugating bilirubin it becomes water soluble and is excreted by the kidneys. Bilirubin is excreted into the bile ducts and enters the stools, it is not excreted through the kidneys with the urine.

 * This was my understanding also. If I get time I'll research this and do a correction if this indeed the case. Robert Brockway 04:49, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

conjugated bilirubin is excreted in bile, not via the kidneys. excretion via the kidneys (bilirubinuria] occurs in hyperbilirubinaemia which is high levels of conjugated bilirubin - a condition that will not occur in Gilbert's syndrome since conjugation is deficient. - 89.100.205.6 (talk) 21:44, 28 November 2007 (UTC)bren

GS vs. Medication-induced ideopathic jaundice
Ok, so here's my story again, but this time with more details.

I was taking an anti-depressant (Tofranil) at the time we did a routine liver health panel, and discovered the abnormal billirubin level. I went to a liver specialist, and he looked through various things and tried various tests, and eventually came to the conclusion that it must be Gilbert's Syndrome, which he indicated to me was "ideopathic jaundice".

Now, what I'm really wondering here, is that my billirubin levels are fairly low for a person with GS, and that Tofranil has "jaudice" listed as a possible side-effect. I'm thinking that it's possible that the Tofranil caused a change in my liver functions, which resulted in ideopathic jaundice, which would be a bit different in etiology than GS. I'm just wondering if anyone has any clues to how I could determine the actual cause of GS, rather than simply "unexplained ideopathic asymptomless jaundice" and grouped in with GS.

Also of note, I've had no problems with the metabolization of Estradiol that I have been taking orally for over a year now. This is also one of the reasons for my interest in determining if I have the specific action of GS, or do I simply have GS-like symptoms. --Puellanivis 19:09, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I suppose the only reasonable way to rule out your medication as a cause would be to stop taking it (under the strict supervision of your doctor, and only after consultation with him/her and their agreement) to see if your bilirubin returns to normal levels. Your medication is Imipramine, and as far as I recall, jaundice would be quite a rare side-effect. Given that some 5% of the population have Gilbert's, it is probably a more likely cause on balance. Out of interest, have your LFTs shown changes in liver enzymes, particularly ALT/AST? Putting all this aside, neither cause of your increased bilirubin/jaundice would be reflective of underlying liver disease (assuming all other lab studies are normal) and so it would only really be of academic interest in your personal case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trefusismadding (talk • contribs) 02:15, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

gynecomastia
i just wanted to add this in here, i have gilberts syndrome and have researched it for a while. recently i have come across the fact that gilberts syndrome gives men a greater chance of getting gynecomastia, but i can find no explanations for the mechanisms involved for this increased susceptibility, i think this is interesting and could lead to more of an understanding into some of the proclaimed anecdotal symptoms of gilberts syndrome. (nemo) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nemo.shark (talk • contribs) 04:19, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

The likely explanation here probably involves the role of UGT1A1 in the processing of C18 steroids ("oestrogen"). Since this enzyme (UGT1A1) is hypoeffective in Gilbert's, it would follow that oestrogen would be allowed to rise to levels in the male which could induce gynaecomastia. I shall review the literature tomorrow and look for studies which confirm this.

i think your right its got something to do with estradiol, i think its a substrate of one of the deficient enzymes. ive recently been reading about the effects of dht on the prostate and found out that although dht does make the prostate enlarge its recently been discovered that estradiol also has the same effect. bacically its dht that initially enlarges the prostate during puberty so inhibiting 5ar will reduce its size. but its estradiol that increases in the male body with age that initiates a second phase of growth (bph). if people with gilberts syndrome have higher than normal ranges of estradiol that cause gynecomastia, it could be that people with gilberts also have a higher chance of this kind of prostate enlargement? however ive read a studdy about using dht as a treatment to reduce bph in men and it was successful, due to dht's inhibitory automatise effects. i think people with gilberts syndrome also have higher than normal levels of dht as it is also a substrate of one of the deficient enzymes? so maybe its this effect that prevents people with gilberts syndrome having an increased risk of bph? although the increased risk of gynecomastia however small that may be, may also transfer to a slightly higher risk of bph? i have gilberts and ive had my hormones tested my dht is high and my testosterone to estradiol ratio is more close to 2-100 in favor of testosterone than 1-200 in favor of testosterone like it should more respectably be.

cholesterol
ive read on the net that gilberts syndrome actually has a positive effect on (ldl) Low-density lipoprotein. (bad cholesterol)

im unsure what effects if any this may have on synthesis of hormones cortisol, aldosterone, and the sex hormones progesterone, the various estrogen's, testosterone and derivatives. (which are all synthesised from cholesterol)Nemo.shark (talk) 03:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I've read that too, but like with the symptoms some people describe to have with GS I take them with a grain of salt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pavelow235 (talk • contribs) 03:48, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

i think i may have an answer to this question, theres a recent study thats been published about the menopause and its effects on bad cholesterol, apparently its the reduction of estrogen's at the menopause that causes the rise in bad cholesterol. so it could be that gilberts syndrome has a positive effect on bad cholesterol because of the increased levels of estrogen's.

if i remeber right estrogen's are made from cholesterol, so could it be the reduction in conversion of cholesterol to estrogen's that is making the bad cholesterol rise, i think so. (nemo) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.157.127.174 (talk) 12:52, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

i think this may explain why gilberts has a positive effect on cholesterol, this link explains why niacin effects cholesterol, its because of its effects on the liver.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18316796

i know that niacin makes gilberts worce so i think it must be a substrate of one of the deficient enzymes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nemo.shark (talk • contribs) 13:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Exclusion of haemolysis
Regarding the need to exclude haemolysis as a cause of hyperbilirubinaemia when making a diagnosis of GS: I added that one would note a reticulocytosis in the presence of haemolysis; indeed this is an important investigation in confirming/diagnosing haemolytic anaemia and it seems relevant to add it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trefusismadding (talk • contribs) 19:17, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

classification for different variants of gilberts syndrome
after doing much reading about gilberts syndrome over the past few months its become apparent that the condition could be classified into different variants.

could it be that the Polysymptomatic nature of gilberts syndrome is the fact that there are different variants of the disorder? and catogorising it with the emergence of genetic tests in to type 1, type 2, (ect) variants could be indicative of similarity's between the variants? (nemo) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nemo.shark (talk • contribs) 07:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

i find it strange that the clinical perception of gs is practically the same as what it was when the syndrome was discovered over 100 years ago! a lot more is known now but its just disregarded, probably because the drugs company's aren't going to publish data thats indicative of why up to 10% of the population aren't good candidates for there psychiatric medication. the 10% of the population with gilberts are the most likely to go to there doctors to complain about something that is wrong with them, the doctor then does a blood test and tells you that your fine nothing to worry about you just have gs its a benign condition and it doesn't explain your other symptom's. which will then lead your doctor into thinking that whats wrong with you is psychological.

i think theres more going on with gs than meets the eye, i dont believe that so many people that have the same condition can all be hypochondriac's!

people with gs have higher levels of estrogen's, this signals the pituitary into thinking enough testosterone is being produced and it effects the ammount of testosterone that is produced. so if its a fact that people with gs have higher levels of estrogen's they will in turn have low to moderate levels of testosterone.

its already thought that depression is more likely in people with low testosterone, there was a study released about it this week.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7274481.stm

wouldn't lower levels of testosterone explain fatigue?

im sure this isnt the full explanation, but i am sure its a contributing factor.

im also sure that a lot more is known about gs by the drugs company's and the information is suppressed as its not in there financial interests to releace it. (nemo) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.157.127.174 (talk) 13:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Why has somebody removed my reference to reported symptoms?
I updated the main GS page with a reference to the 'British Liver Trust' (an august and reputable research charity) listing commonly reported symptoms - having written and asked them for their permission to use their information. Somebody (it looks like a user called Anome) decided to remove this information. Why? Is it not important to recognise that if more and more people who are diagnosed with GS have identical symptoms, then there is a good possibility that they are significant and more research is needed? I did actually refer to them as "commonly reported symptoms" as distinct from "diagnosed symtpoms" and, I repeat, I did get written permission from a charitable research organisation (who would know that a lot of people do, in fact, report these symptoms). So, unless somebody can tell me why this information should not be part of the GS-page (?), I shall be re-entering it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Philipm12 (talk • contribs) 11:48, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Absence of lactate dehydrogenase excludes cholestasis?
Under 'Differential diagnosis' it states that, "Cholestasis can be excluded by the absence of lactate dehydrogenase"... I don't think that is correct, unless LDH has been found to be useful in diagnosing obstructive jaundice, which seems unlikely as its elevation is related to "significant impairment of hepatocytes".

I think the writer meant alkaline phosphatase, and this should read something like, "Cholestasis can be excluded by the absence of elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase"... Krebiozen (talk) 11:07, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Distinguishing between Gilbert and Guillain–Barré Syndromes
I feel that it would be a good idea to add a "not to be confused with" label at the top of the page to distinguish between Gilbert's and Guillain–Barré syndromes. The latter is often pronounced like "gillie-bear" while Gilbert's is sometimes pronounced "jill-bear" (apologies for the bad formatting), opening up the possibility of people looking at the incorrect article, so I'm going to add a tag to both articles. I leave this section open to discussion of the topic as both can be confusing to spell given their non-English etymologies. Zedtwitz (talk) 02:19, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Gastroperasis and Gliberts syndrome
Here is a reputable source which could explain gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and stomach cramps: "Delayed gastric emptying in subjects with Gilbert's syndrome."

I have Gilberts syndrome and have always had (even before diagnosis) fatigue, low tolerance to alcohol, and stomach problems/gastroperasis symptoms which don't seem to be getting any better on a low FODMAP diet (despite a gluten-free diet helping for the past 4 years). So i am interested in learning why GS sufferers have digestive issues, in particular with grains. I thought it may be because we dont produce enough bile? Maybe that is the reason for delayed gastric emptying?

I was also diagnosed with dust mite allergy and Gilberts syndrome within the space of a fortnight and wonder if one caused the other as it seems like a big coincidence!
