Abstract:
The prevalence and severity of hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection have always been underestimated, and the low screening and diagnosis rates may bring severe disease burden. HDV RNA, as the direct evidence of viral replication, is of great importance for the diagnosis and management of hepatitis D. This article summarizes the clinical significance of HDV RNA detection and introduces the advances in detection methods, in order to facilitate the screening and diagnosing of hepatitis D.
