10. Complications of Bilirubin Imbalance

Kernicterus involves critically high bilirubin levels. As prevention against brain damage, newborn infants with the condition are treated right away to bring down their bilirubin levels. Another condition linked to high bilirubin is Gilbert’s syndrome, a genetic disorder that is also hereditary. Individuals with this condition may experience failing livers which cannot sufficiently remove bilirubin.
