When a proband is identified in a family, fetal investigation is warranted, to set up third-trimester ultrasound surveillance and perinatal management. In case of fetal severe anemia of unknown etiology, the workup on fetal blood sampling before IUT should comprise the search for erythrocytes enzymopathies, such as PK deficiency. IUTs allow safer full-term delivery in cases with PK deficiency.
