Key Takeaways

Dubin-Johnson syndrome is a rare autosomal genetic disorder characterized by some elevation of conjugated bilirubin but no other signs of injury to the hepatocytes. It's also associated with a black liver due to the deposition of a pigment similar to melanin. Dubin-Johnson syndrome is generally asymptomatic, and no treatment is usually needed.
