General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Based on the history given you seem to be suffering from an inherited condition of the liver called Dubin-Johnson syndrome. It is due to body's ability to move bilirubin from the liver. When the liver breaks down worn out red blood cells, it produces bilirubin. It normally moves through the bile produced by the liver and into the bile ducts, past the gallbladder, and into the digestive system.

In this benign disorder bilirubin is not secreted into the bile it builds up in the bloodstream. This causes the skin and the whites of the eyes to turn yellow causing jaundice. There is no specific treatment for this condition. However, you must avoid alcohol, smoking, taking certain medications such as paracetamol which my damage your liver.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
