Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus Infection Market Size & Share, Market Research Report 2030 | DelveInsight

Hepatitis delta, also known as hepatitis D or HDV is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis delta virus that results in the most severe form of viral hepatitis known to humans. However, only those already infected with hepatitis B can acquire hepatitis delta, as it is dependent on the hepatitis B virus to reproduce.

The HDV infection is of two types: superinfection and co-infection. Super infections occur when a person with chronic hepatitis B becomes infected with hepatitis delta. These types of infections are more common and have a 70‒90% chance of resulting in a chronic infection of both hepatitis B and delta. Co-infections occur when a person gets infected with hepatitis B and delta at the same time, and have a <5% chance of resulting in chronic infections.

DelveInsight's "Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Infection Market Report 2030" delivers an in-depth understanding of the Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Infection, historical and forecasted epidemiology as well as the Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Infection market trends in the United States, EU5 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France, and United Kingdom) and Japan.

Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Infection Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

HDVC is percutaneously or sexually transmitted through contact with infected blood or blood products. Vertical transmission is possible, but rare.

Chronic liver disease, which may occur with hepatitis D, often has minimal symptoms. At times there may be mild flare-ups with jaundice, nausea, fatigue, and weight loss.

There are at least eight different types of hepatitis delta called “genotypes,” which are associated with distinct disease progression. In general, a more severe condition occurs in genotype 1 and 3, and milder in genotype 2. Generally, a single genotype tends to dominate in an infected person, but multiple genotypes can occur in those at high risk of repeated exposure to the virus.

The diagnosis will require two tests, namely the hepatitis delta antibody (Anti-HDV total) and the hepatitis delta RNA (HDV RNA). The HDV antibody total test is the first step, as people who have recovered from or are currently infected with hepatitis delta will have antibodies. If the HDV antibody total test is positive, it should be followed by the HDV RNA test to confirm an active infection. If this test is negative, a current infection is unlikely.

Hepatitis delta leads to more severe liver disease than HBV alone and is associated with accelerated liver fibrosis, liver cancer, and liver failure.

Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Infection Epidemiology  

It is estimated that globally, approximately 5% of people with chronic HBV infection are co-infected with HDV, resulting in a total of 15‒20 million persons infected with HDV worldwide. The high-prevalence areas include Africa, Asia, Pacific Islands, Middle East, Eastern Europe, South America, and Greenland. Superinfections have a 70‒90% chance of resulting in a chronic infection of both hepatitis B and delta. Coinfections have a <5% chance of resulting in chronic infections.

The Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Infection epidemiology division provide insights about historical and current Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Infection patient pool and forecasted trend for every seven major countries.

Key Findings

According to the study by Gaeta et al., titled “Chronic Hepatitis D: A Vanishing Disease An Italian Multicenter Study,” the prevalence of anti-HDV among HBV carriers with liver disease decreases from 25% in 1983 to 14% in 1992 in Italy and from 15.1% to 7.1% in Spain.

A study conducted by Cross et al., titled “The increasing prevalence of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection in South London,” evaluated the effectiveness of the UK strategy for the prevention of HDV infection, and found a prevalence of 8.5% HDV Ab seropositivity in 962 HBV infected patients attending King’s College Hospital in South-East London.

Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Infection Drug Chapters

The current clinical pipeline of chronic HDV infection is weak. The key players that are working toward the development of therapies for chronic HDV infection are MYR Pharmaceuticals and Eiger BioPharmaceuticals.

Drug chapter segment of the Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Infection market report encloses the detailed analysis of Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Infection marketed drugs and late stage (Phase-III and Phase-II) pipeline drugs.

Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Infection Market Outlook

Currently, no treatment has been approved by the US FDA for chronic HDV infection. As HDV requires HBV for its replication, it can be prevented by the use of hepatitis B vaccine.

The treatment recommendations to date are based on the experience with IFN-based therapy. Current guidelines of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL), and the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) recommend peg-IFN-α for 12 months in patients with compensated liver disease with consideration of nucleoside and nucleotide analogue therapy with ongoing HBV DNA replication, and referral to specialized centers for experimental therapies given limited efficacy of pegylated interferon-α (peg-IFN-α).

IFN-α, peg-IFN-α, and combination therapy with nucleoside or nucleotide analogues have been studied in chronic HDV infection, but therapy with IFN is largely limited to patients who are non-cirrhotic.

Novel treatment options have been evaluated recently, and four areas of interest include drugs that target entry, assembly and release of viral particles in addition to treatment that activates the immune host response. The use of HBV nucleoside and nucleotide analogue as monotherpay or in combination with IFN-α therapy has been explored in chronic HDV infected patients.

The Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Infection market outlook of the report helps to build the detailed comprehension of the historic, current and forecasted Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Infection market trends by analyzing the impact of current therapies on the market, unmet needs, drivers and barriers and demand of better technology. 

According to DelveInsight, Chronic Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Infection market in 7MM is expected to change in the study period 2017-2030.

Cyclin-dependent kinase

Cyclin-dependent kinase overview Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) belong to a protein serine/threonine kinases whose activity depends on association with a noncatalytic regulatory subunit called a cyclin. Cyclin-dependent kinases inhibitors are vital for progression through the cell cycle and proliferation. The genes that encode CDKs were initially identified in screens for conditional mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae which reversibly arrested at characteristic points in the cell cycle upon transfer to the restrictive conditions. Cyclins were initially named for their periodic accumulation and degradation (cycling) through the early cell cycles of fertilized sea urchin eggs. This research identified a ubiquitous cell cycle engine responsible for coordinating cell growth, DNA replication, and mitosis in the orderly fashion required to ensure the viability of progeny cells. How Do Cyclin-dependent kinases regulate Cell Cycle? All eukaryotes have a various cyclins,

Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumors (TSGCTs) Market Research Report 2030 | Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumors (TSGCTs) Market

Image
Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumors   are a type of neoplasm that affects synovial-lined tendon sheaths, synovial joints, and surrounding soft tissue. Locally aggressive benign tissue lesions are defined by synovial lining inflammation in joints and tendons. Overexpression of the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor is thought to cause these tumors to form. Giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath (GCTTS), pigmented villonodular tumors (PVNTS), extra-articular pigmented villonodular tumors of the tendon sheath, and localized or focal nodular synovitis are all terms used to describe TSGCTs. Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumors Causes Translocation is an alteration to a chromosome that causes Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumors. A chromosome segment breaks off and moves around. The cause of these translocations is unknown. The genetic code for making proteins is stored on chromosomes. A protein termed colony-stimulating factor 1 is produced in excess due to the translocation (CSF1). This protein attracts

Smoking Cessation Market Research Report 2030 | Smoking Cessation Market

Image
Smoking Cessation   is a process of discontinuing tobacco smoking. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and quitting smoking is the most effective way to slow down the progression of the disease. Tobacco use can potentially lead to tobacco or nicotine addiction, as well as significant health consequences, according to the CDC. It has the potential to significantly lower the risk of smoking-related diseases. Nicotine is addictive, but no effective medications or behavioral therapies are available to help people overcome it. Counseling, nicotine replacement, and bupropion have all been shown to aid in smoking cessation in several studies. Smoking Cessation Sign and Symptoms The most significant barrier to quitting smoking is nicotine addiction. Smokers who try to stop often experience cravings for cigarettes, mood swings, insomnia, constipation, increased hunger, anxiety, and other nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Tobacco quitting lowers the chanc
