Description
Early virus changes after liver transplant are tracked in a study led by Sara Battistella and co-authors, published in 2026. The team followed twelve patients with hepatitis B, five of whom also had hepatitis D. Blood and liver samples were drawn before, during, and after the operation.
Virus DNA in blood fell to levels too low to detect within hours of transplant. A surface marker cleared in days for some patients and took months for others, with the start level shaping the pace. Later liver samples were mostly clear of virus signs. One case of hepatitis D found inside the liver points to a need for better prevention.
