There’s a common misconception that you *must* drink alcohol to develop liver disease. While alcohol is a major cause of liver disease in Canada and around the world, it’s just one of many causes.

Your liver health is determined by many factors, including genetics, lifestyle behaviours, and exposure to viruses and toxins.

⚠️ Drinking less is best for overall liver health.

Liver disease often develops in silence, with symptoms frequently appearing at later stages of disease progression. Don’t wait for the signs and symptoms of liver disease to get tested.

Liver health testing is not always included in routine bloodwork. Be proactive about your health and speak with your healthcare provider about a simple blood test to check for liver function.

Hepatitis delta virus, or HDV, is a rare and progressive liver condition that can dramatically impact one's health if left undiagnosed or unmanaged. Fortunately, the potential of new and emerging treatments is bringing hope to a historically underserved and misunderstood community.

Created with support from Gilead Sciences Canada, in close collaboration with its community partners, Action Hepatitis Canada and Liver Canada.

The hepatitis delta virus can progress quickly and quietly, and historically Canada’s response has been slow and uncoordinated. Patients, clinicians, and public health advocates are working tirelessly to change that.
