Detailed description
Hepatitis D, also known as delta hepatitis, is an infectious disease caused by the hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection, primarily damaging the liver.
Since HDV relies on the hepatitis B virus (HBV) for replication, patients with hepatitis D often have concurrent or a history of hepatitis B.
The main clinical manifestations of hepatitis D include fatigue, anorexia, dark urine, and right upper quadrant pain.
