Gestational alloimmune liver disease with alpha thalassaemia in a neonate.
BMJ Case Reports 2024 March 22
A term baby presented with cholestatic jaundice since birth. She was diagnosed as gestational alloimmune liver disease-neonatal haemochromatosis (GALD-NH) on evaluation. The baby received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and recovered gradually from the illness. She was also diagnosed with alpha thalassaemia during the course of evaluation, confirmed by genetic testing. NH is a very rare disorder that results in fetal loss or neonatal death due to liver failure. NH is now known to be a phenotypic expression of GALD. Worldwide, NH is seen in less than one in a million pregnancies. The mortality rate of GALD has traditionally been around 80% with almost all babies needing liver transplantation, with advent of maternal and neonatal IVIG treatment, this has reduced significantly. There is no reported case of GALD-NH treated successfully with IVIG from India. Here, we report an interesting case of GALD-NH with alpha thalassaemia.
