Hepatitis B virus

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a partially double-stranded DNA virus, a species of the genus Orthohepadnavirus and a member of the Hepadnaviridae family of viruses.

Lactic acidosis

Lactic acidosis is a medical condition characterized by a build-up of lactate (especially -lactate) in the body, with formation of an excessively low pH in the bloodstream.

See Fialuridine and Lactic acidosis

Liver failure

Liver failure is the inability of the liver to perform its normal synthetic and metabolic functions as part of normal physiology.

See Fialuridine and Liver failure

Liver transplantation

Liver transplantation or hepatic transplantation is the replacement of a diseased liver with the healthy liver from another person (allograft).

See Fialuridine and Liver transplantation

Mitochondrial DNA

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA and mDNA) is the DNA located in the mitochondria organelles in a eukaryotic cell that converts chemical energy from food into adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Nucleoside analogue

Nucleoside analogues are structural analogues of a nucleoside, which normally contain a nucleobase and a sugar. Fialuridine and nucleoside analogue are Antiviral drugs and nucleosides.
