This case highlights the consequences of late diagnosis and treatment of gestational alloimmune liver disease-neonatal haemochromatosis and emphasizes the importance of a high grade of suspicion of this disease. Level II ultrasound scan should include scanning of the liver, as a part of the protocol. A high grade of suspicion is key for the diagnosis of gestational alloimmune liver disease-neonatal haemochromatosis, and early use of intravenous immunoglobulin should not be postponed to allow longer survival of the native liver.
