I had always wondered why it had to rotate. That makes far more sense than I expected!

You know how something can be opaque, translucent or transparent?

Shouldn't the equivalent terms for radioactivity be something like radio-opaque, transradiant and... Urm... transparent?

Radiolucent means radio-light, which sort of sounds like nonsense. Translucent means light gets through. Shouldn't it be transradiant?

Just wondering.

It might be more accurate to say that people who have Gilbert's are often jaundiced.

There are loads of causes of juandice. Some of them are really bad news.

It can be pre hepatic (like haemolysis), intra hepatic (like Gilbert's) or post hepatic (like gall stones).

Other things that you'd have to consider would include drug reactions, pregnancy, biliary obstruction, autoimmune causes (haemolysis, hepatitis...) Other causes of hepatitis (viral, anaesthetics, alcoholic...), I forget the rest of the list. It's not hard to find out you want to know the other causes.

The most likely causes are also different at different ages.

Gilbert's is one of many.
