Conjugated hyperbiliubinemia in infancy is seen: (A) Gilbe syndrome, (B) Criggler najjar syndrome, (C) Dubin Johnson syndrome, (D) Breast milk jaundice
Answer is C. Dubin Johnson syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from impaired hepatic excretion of bilirubin and thus causes conjugated hyperbilirubinemia(2-6 mg/dl). Gilbe syndrome, Crigler- Najjar syndrome and breast milk jaundice are causes of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Reference : page 312 Ghai Essential Pediatrics 8th edition
