Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection requires the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV), and chronic HBV-HDV coinfection is considered the most severe form of viral hepatitis. When compared with HBV mono-infection, HBV-HDV coinfection is associated with higher rates of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this review, we aim to elucidate the complex relationship between HDV infection and the development of HCC.

Background: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and nucleotide analogues [entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)] used in its treatment have been shown to affect metabolic parameters in many studies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of metabolic events associated with CHB and nucleotide analogues (NAs) used in CHB treatment on ischemic heart diseases (IHD) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted between June 2022 and January 2024 with a total of 241 patients diagnosed with non-cirrhotic CHB in the gastroenterology outpatient clinic, 96 of whom did not receive hepatitis B treatment, 110 of whom received TDF, and 35 of whom received ETV treatment.
