Hepatitis D medical therapy

Medical Therapy
There is no specific available treatment. For persons with severe hepatitis, only supportive care is given. The treatment of chronic active hepatitis B and coexistent hepatitis D infection with alpha interferon would be done only after consultation and referral to a gastroenterologist. Monitoring HDV RNA and serological levels of HBsAg may help in management of these patients.

Follow-up for 6months may be recommended in these patients to evaluate for the development of chronic HBV and HDV infection.
