Liver diseases are among the most important health problems worldwide. In developed countries, overnutrition and alcohol abuse represent the major causes of liver disease, whereas infectious diseases -especially from viruses and parasites -are the main cause in Africa and Asia. Moreover, mortality rates from liver diseases are increasing rather than declining worldwide About 2% of the world's population is chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) [2], while the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the global population is estimated to be 3.7% [3]: these viruses are the most common underlying agents in infection-related cirrhosis.
