Overview
Surgery
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.[1] 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.[2]
