📋Overview
Chronic Familial Icterus is a legacy term historically used to describe inherited conditions characterized by persistent mild jaundice due to elevated unconjugated bilirubin. The modern preferred terms include Gilbert syndrome and Crigler-Najjar syndrome, which are genetic disorders affecting bilirubin metabolism. These conditions cause lifelong mild to moderate hyperbilirubinemia without significant liver damage.
