Core Tip Gestational alloimmune liver disease is a rare neonatal hepatic condition with clinical manifestations ranging from benign presentations to fulminant liver failure. Curative treatments include intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and double-volume plasma exchange; liver transplantation may be necessary in severe cases. The recurrence rate in subsequent pregnancies is as high as 90%, but it can be effectively prevented with antenatal IVIG administration. In this review, we summarize the latest available literature to raise awareness among pediatricians and pediatric hepatologists, ensuring early recognition and appropriate management of this condition.
