Abstract

Neonatal hemochromatosis is characterized by severehepatic failure associated with intrahepatic and extrahepaticiron overload. Its most common cause is an alloimmunedisease of pregnancy called GALD. The in utero alloimmuneorigin of GALD is supported by the observation that maternaltreatment with IVIG is able to dramatically improve theprognosis of these pregnancies.
