Revisión actual - 23:01 4 ene 2026
Background
- Enveloped RNA virus
- Infection only occurs in patients with concurrent hepatitis infection (acute, chronic or carrier state), as virus requires presence of HBV for replication
- Rare in developed countries, transmission similar to HBV (blood-borne)
- HDV-HBV co-infection considered most severe variant of chronic viral hepatitis due to rapid progression to liver failure and HCC[1]
Clinical Features
- Acute hepatitis, ranging from mild to fulminant hepatitis with acute liver failure
- Nausea/Vomiting
- RUQ pain
- Enlarged, tender liver
- Fever
- Jaundice, bilirubinuria
- Chronic superinfection (HDV+HBV)
- Accelerates progression of chronic HBV to cirrhosis
Differential Diagnosis
Causes of acute hepatitis
- Acetaminophen toxicity (most common cause of acute liver failure in the US[2])
- Viral hepatitis
- Toxoplasmosis
- Acute alcoholic hepatitis
- Toxins
- Ischemic hepatitis
- Autoimmune hepatitis
- Wilson's disease
Evaluation
- High anti-HDV IgG/IgM titers plus confirmation with serum HDV RNA definitively diagnose, however not widely available[3]
Acute Hepatitis Evaluation
- LFTs
- AST, ALT > 1000s
- Elevated bilirubin
- Elevated alk phosphatase
- INR
- Consider acetaminophen level
- Acute hepatitis panel
- Hep A Ab IgM
- Hep B cAb IgM
- Hep B sAg
- Hep B sAb
- Hep C Ab
| Anti-hepatitis A, IgM | Hepatitis B surface antigen | Anti-hepatitis B core, IgM | Anti-hepatitis C | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Positive | Negative | Negative | Negative | Acute hepatitis A |
| Negative | Positive | Positive | Negative | Acute hepatitis B |
| Negative | Positive | Negative | Negative | Chronic hepatitis B infection |
| Negative | Negative | Positive | Negative | Acute hepatitis B; quantity of hepatitis B surface antigen is too low to detect |
| Negative | Negative | Negative | Positive | Acute or chronic hepatitis C; additional tests are required to make the determination |
Management
- Acute management is supportive
- Consider liver transplant consultation if approaching liver failure
- Outpatient treatment with Interferon-α
Disposition
- Consider admission for:
- Bilirubin > 20
- PT 50% above normal, INR >2
- Hypoglycemia
- Hypoalbuminemia
- Any GI bleeding
- Uncontrolled nausea/vomiting, pain
- Significant comorbidity, immunocompromised, elderly
