Current Therapy of Chronic Viral Hepatitis B, C and D

Abstract: The majority of chronic viral hepatitis cases are induced via infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or hepatitis D virus (HDV). These patients are at increased risk for progressive liver disease leading to cirrhosis as well as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HBV infection is well controlled by the currently available nucleosides as well as nucleotides, and the development of cirrhosis can be prevented. Additionally, it has been shown that HBV-induced liver fibrosis can regress du… Show more

“…Hepatitis B and C viruses have been shown to cause acute and chronic infections that lead to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma, which accounts for 90% of all liver cancer [28,29]. In our study, male CP patients without hepatitis B or C were found to have a higher risk of liver cancer.…”

“…In this Special Issue, Schlaak gives an overview of the current treatments and developments, stating that (i) the introduction of direct-acting antivirals for treating HCV has been a boon by all accounts (at least, one might add, for those patients living in countries where these drugs are available); (ii) nowadays, HBV is generally well controllable, although a "functional cure" has not yet been achieved, which calls for novel therapeutic strategies that are currently being developed; and (iii) HDV remains the most challenging type of chronic viral hepatitis, for which therapeutic approaches with better response rates must be conceived [25].…”
