Doença hepática caracterizada por inflamação e fibrose hepáticas causadas por mais de 6 meses de infecção pelo vírus da hepatite B. Mesmo na fase de cirrose, frequentemente não há sintomas. Caso contrário, as manifestações clínicas incluem fadiga, endurecimento da borda hepática e complicações da cirrose (atrofia muscular, ascite, esplenomegalia/hipertensão portal). A transmissão ocorre por contaminação de sangue e fluidos corporais, transmissão sexual e da mãe para o bebê no momento do nascimento (transmissão vertical). A confirmação do diagnóstico é feita pela detecção de HBsAg, mas a avaliação da gravidade, prognóstico e indicação de tratamento requer a quantificação do DNA do HBV no soro. | |||

A liver disease characterised by liver inflammation and fibrosis caused by more than 6 months of infection with the hepatitis B virus. Even at stage of cirrhosis there are often no symptoms. Otherwise, clinical features include fatigue, hard liver edge and complications of cirrhosis (muscle wasting, ascites, splenomegaly/portal hypertension). Transmission is by blood and body fluid contamination, sexual transmission, and from mother to baby at the time of birth (vertical transmission).
