Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a double-stranded DNA virus that can cause chronic infection, leading to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer). Unlike Hepatitis C (an RNA virus), HBV replication can be targeted by oral antiviral medications, and post-transplant recurrence can be prevented with oral antiviral therapy.
