Smileband Health issues


  1. Hepatitis D is a form of hepatitis, or liver infection. You can only get it if you already have hepatitis B.
  2. Like hepatitis B, hepatitis D is transmitted through exposure to the bodily fluids of an infected person, such as their blood or semen. It’s possible to get both hepatitis B and hepatitis D at the same time.
  3. Hepatitis D is rare in the United States. However, there’s no cure or vaccine for the virus.
Hepatitis D, also known as the delta virus, is an infection that causes the liver to become inflamed. This swelling can impair liver function and cause long-term liver problems, including liver scarring and cancer. The condition is caused by the hepatitis D virus (HDV). This virus is rare in the United States, but it’s fairly common in the following regions:
  • South America
  • West Africa
  • Russia
  • Pacific islands
  • Central Asia
  • the Mediterranean 
HDV is one of many forms of hepatitis. Other types include:
  • hepatitis A, which is transmitted through direct contact with feces or indirect fecal contamination of food or water
  • hepatitis B, which is spread through exposure to body fluids, including blood, urine, and semen
  • hepatitis C, which is spread by exposure to contaminated blood or needles
  • hepatitis E, which is a short-term and self-resolving version of hepatitis transmitted through indirect fecal contamination of food or water
Unlike the other forms, hepatitis D can’t be contracted on its own. It can only develop in people who are already infected with hepatitis B.
Hepatitis D can be acute or chronic. Acute hepatitis D occurs suddenly and typically causes more severe symptoms. It may go away on its own. If the infection lasts for six months of longer, the condition is known as chronic hepatitis D. The long-term version of the infection develops gradually over time. The virus might be present in the body for several months before symptoms occur. As chronic hepatitis D progresses, the chances of complications increase. Many people with the condition eventually develop cirrhosis, or severe scarring of the liver. 
There’s currently no cure or vaccine for hepatitis D, but it can be prevented in people who aren’t already infected with hepatitis B. Treatment may also help prevent liver failure when the condition is detected early.
