Abstract

Here in we present a case of a postoperative jaundice due to Gilbert's syndrome in a patient who was suffering from coronary artery disease and undergone coronary artery bypass grafting operation. Signs and symptoms of jaundice developed on the postoperative first day and resolved spontaneously after 7 days. The diagnosis and characteristics of Gilbert's syndrome and other related abnormalities and factors relevant to anesthesia and cardiopulmonary by-pass, which affect bilirubin metabolism, are discussed.

Gilbert sendromlu bir hastada coroner arter bypass greftlemesi

Abstract

Biz bu çalışmamızda; koroner arter bypass greftleme operasyonu yaptığımız koroner arter hastasında, Gilbert sendromuna bağlı postoperatif sarılığı sunduk. Sarılık belirti ve bulguları post-operatif birinci günde başlayıp,post-operatif yedinci günde kendiliğinden kayboldu.Gilbert sendromunun tanısı,özellikleri ve ilişkili diğer anormallikler ile birlikte anestezi ve kardiyopulmoner bypass'ın bilirübin metabolizmasına etkileri tartışıldı.
