Hepatitis D

Hepatitis D is a viral infection that can only occur in people who already have Hepatitis B, since the Hepatitis D virus requires the Hepatitis B virus to replicate and survive in the body. This virus attacks the liver and can cause serious inflammation, leading to liver damage, cirrhosis, or liver failure if left untreated. It spreads through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids, making it particularly dangerous in people who share needles or receive unsafe medical procedures.
