Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Viral hepatitis can replicate beyond the liver. Extrahepatic manifestations have been reported in association with several viruses such as HBV, HCV, HEV, and others. These disorders include neurological disorders, cryoglobulinemia vasculitis, renal complications, rheumatologic manifestations, acute pancreatitis, and haematological disorders. The extrahepatic disorders of these viruses develop either via direct virus replication in these organs or indirectly via various host immune-mediated mechanisms, including the deposition and formation of viral–protein–IgM/IgG complexes in the organs.
The Special Issue, entitled "Disorders Caused by Viral Hepatitis Beyond the Liver: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment", aims to present recent research addressing the mysteries of virus-induced extrahepatic disorders. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Viral hepatitis;
- Extrahepatic disorders;
- Replication;
- Pathogenesis;
- In vitro or in vivo culture model for studying extrahepatic disorders;
- Diagnosis;
- Treatment.
