Liver Biopsy

  • Liver biopsy is not routinely indicated in diagnosis of acute hepatitis D unless the serologic diagnosis of hepatitis is inconclusive. However, liver biopsy is indicated in chronic liver disease to evaluate for cirrhosis or fibrosis.
  • Histopathologic findings are similar to that observed in HBV infection. Acidophilic cytoplasm in hepatocytes with lymphocytic infiltrates may be observed.
