Hepatitis Delta International Network (HDIN)
Worldwide, more than 250 million people are infected with the Hepatitis B virus (HBV), and 15–20 million of these individuals are thought to be co-infected with the Hepatitis Delta virus (HDV).
To improve the current therapeutic options, a better understanding of the pathophysiology is essential. Reliable research in this direction is only possible with large patient study groups. However, given the geographic distribution of hepatitis delta, larger patient cohorts would only be possible through multicenter collaboration.
On the following pages you can find information on the Hepatitis Delta International Network (HDIN) and our actions, about the Hepatitis Delta virus and some additional information for physicians & scientists.
The new Hepatitis Delta International Network homepage is online! You can find us on www.german-liverfoundation.com or on www.hepatitis-delta.org. Please give a feedback or offer your contribution to our administrative coordinator.
The 19th HDIN Meeting will take place as an associated event to The International Liver Congress™ in London on 15th April 2020. We will meet at the ExCeL venue, Capital Suite 1, 4:30 – 7:30 p.m.
36 centers from 20 countries are currently part of the HDIN, with around 2000 patients registered.
