Successful treatment of hemochromatosis with renal tubular dysgenesis in a preterm infant

Clinical Case Reports
Uta KouraTaketoshi Yoshida

Abstract

We report the first surviving case of neonatal hemochromatosis with renal tubular dysgenesis. Renal failure was treated with peritoneal dialysis. Although hepatic failure from neonatal hemochromatosis was progressive, repeated exchange transfusions improved jaundice and coagulopathy. The patient gained weight and received a liver transplantation from her father.
