The prognosis for this condition is very positive. Dubin-Johnson syndrome generally does not shorten the patient's life span.

Complications are unusual but may include the following:

• Severe jaundice
• Reduced liver function

Call your health care provider if any of the following occurs:

• Jaundice is severe.
• Jaundice gets worse over time.
• Abdominal pain or other symptoms are also present (may indicate another disorder is causing the jaundice).
