Hepatitis D and liver cancer may ensue from Hepatitis D.Hepatitis D is a disease caused by a small circular RNA virus . HDV is considered to be a subviral satellite because it can propagate only in the presence of another virus, the hepatitis B virus . Transmission of HDV can occur either via simultaneous infection with HBV or via infection of an individual previously infected with HBV . Both superinfection and coinfection with HDV results in more severe complications compared to infection with HBV alone. These complications include a greater likelihood of experiencing liver failure in acute infections and a greater likelihood of developing liver cancer in chronic infections. In combination with hepatitis B virus, hepatitis D has the highest mortality rate of all the hepatitis infections of 20%. and liver cancer may ensue from Hepatitis D.Hepatitis D is a disease caused by a small circular RNA virus .
