When a person is chronically infected with hepatitis B, the virus multiplies and attacks the liver slowly over time. This can lead to liver disease, including fibrosis/cirrhosis, liver cancer and/or liver failure, all of which can impair the liver’s ability to function and regenerate.¹

Select one of the images below to see a side-by-side animated video of how the liver of a chronically infected person, who is not on treatment, is attacked over time by the hepatitis B virus and how it would look if the hepatitis B virus was attacking an everyday item, such as an orange or a potted plant.
