Abstract

Aim: Hepatitis B (HBV) and Hepatitis D (HDV) viruses are among the two important causes of end-stage liver disease today. In this study, we aimed to increase HDV awareness in people infected with HBV by examining the prevalence of HDV in patients with endstage liver disease due to HBV and who were evaluated for liver transplantation. Materials and Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective single-center and cross-sectional. Patients with HBV decompensated liver cirrhosis were divided into two groups as anti-HDV positive and negative. Child-turcott pugh (CTP), Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, complications of liver cirrhosis, viral hepatitis serology, and platelet count variables were statistically compared between the groups. Results: A total of 147 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis due to HBV were included in the study. Anti-HDV positivity was detected in 46 (31.3%) patients, and anti-HDV negative in 101 (68.7%) patients. The mean age of HDV positive patients (48.39±9.20) was statistically significantly lower than HDV negative (54.37±7.80) patients (p
