Augustin Nicolas Gilbert

Augustin Nicolas Gilbert (February 15, 1858 - March 4, 1927) was a French physician who was born in the town of Buzancy, Ardennes. He received his doctorate from the University of Paris and became an intern at the Hôtel-Dieu de Paris. He later was a professor of therapeutics (1902) and clinical medicine (1905) at Hôtel-Dieu.

Gilbert was known for his research of blood diseases, diabetes, syphilis, cirrhosis and other disorders. He published many articles and books on a wide array of medical subjects. With Jean Alfred Fournier (1832-1914) he published "Bibliothèque rouge de l'étudiant en médecine", and with Paul Camille Hippolyte Brouardel (1837-1906) he published the 10-volume "Traité de médecine et de Thérapeutique". Also, with neurologist Maurice Villaret (1877-1946) he did extensive research of portal hypertension.

Gilbert is remembered for his description of a fairly common hereditary cause of increased bilirubin. Today this disorder is known as Gilbert's syndrome and is believed to be caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glucuronosyltransferase.
