    Explanation
    HBV is a virus that causes serious disease (infection) of the liver, thus rendering many of the liver's functions altered or non-functional. The liver is a vital organ responsible for various functions such as detoxification, metabolism, and production of important proteins. When infected with HBV, the liver becomes inflamed and damaged, leading to impaired liver function.
