Abstract
Viral hepatitis is a global health concern mostly caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). The late diagnosis and delayed treatment of HBV and HCV infections can cause irreversible liver damage and the occurrence of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Detecting the presence and activity of HBV and HCV is the cornerstone of the diagnosis and management of related diseases. However, the traditional method shows limitations. The utilization of nanomaterials has been of great significance in the advancement of virus detection technologies due to their unique mechanical, electrical, and optical properties. Here, we categorized and illustrated the novel approaches used for the diagnosis of HBV and HCV.
