A Rare Cause of Neonatal Liver Failure: Neonatal Hemochromatosis

Neonatal hemochromatosis (NH) is a severe rare liver disease in neonatal period associated with ekstrahepatic siderosis. This disease is characterized by hepatocellular insufficiency that presented with jaundice, hypoglycemia, hypoalbuminemia, low fibrinogen levels, thrombocytopenia, anemia, direct and indirect hyperbilirubinemia from the first days of life. Herein we reported a case with Rh incompatibility whose jaundice was noted at the first day of life and referred to our hospital for exchange transfusion, but thereafter diagnosed as NH and reviewed the literature in the view point of the latest developments related to the topic.
