The treatment of hepatitis D usually does not involve surgical procedures.

Liver Transplantation

Liver transplant is indicated in patients with end-stage liver disease, or liver failure secondary to HDV infection, in whom treatment with interferon is not indicated. These patients usually have a good outcome, with inhibition of HBV and HDV reinfection when simultaneously treated with nucleoside and nucleotide analogues, and hepatitis B antibodies.
