[Research progress on the detection method of hepatitis D]

Hepatitis D is a liver disease caused by the simultaneous or superinfection of hepatitis B and D viruses, which can lead to severe liver disease, increase the risk of liver decompensation, and even increase the patient's mortality rate. At present, although various studies have provided a certain degree of understanding of hepatitis D, the prevalence, detection methods, diagnosis, and treatment methods still face significant challenges. Accurate detection of hepatitis D is the basis for determining the disease's prevalence and formulating a treatment strategy. Therefore, efficient and accurate detection methods have been in widespread demand. This article provides a brief overview of the research into the laboratory detection method of the hepatitis D virus in an effort to aid in the diagnosis and treatment.
