Description
See Also Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Antigen, Serum
Indications
Studies show that anti-HDV IgM antibodies are strongly associated with intra-hepatic HDV antigen expression and correlates significantly with a higher histological inflammatory activity. However, the absence of HDVspecific IgM antibodies does not rule out active viral infection with HDV.
