A comprehensive overview of several major liver diseases, focusing heavily on viral hepatitides and their management. The text extensively covers Hepatitis B (HBV) and Hepatitis C (HCV), detailing their natural history, replication mechanisms, diagnostic markers, and treatment strategies, including the shift toward Direct Acting Antivirals (DAAs) for HCV and Nucleoside Analogues (NAs) for HBV. Significant attention is also paid to liver transplantation, including selection criteria (such as MELD scores), immunosuppressive regimens, and the management of disease recurrence and complications like Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Furthermore, the sources discuss other liver pathologies such as Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)/NASH, Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH), and various vascular disorders like Budd-Chiari syndrome, alongside their corresponding diagnostics and therapeutic options.
