Relating to or affecting both the liver and the gallbladder.
From Greek 'hepar' (liver) + 'kystis' (bladder, sac). Medical terminology combining two anatomical structures that work closely together in bile production and storage.
The bile ducts connecting the liver and gallbladder form one of the body's most delicate plumbing systems—a single gallstone can block the whole system and cause life-threatening pancreatitis, which is why this relationship matters so much.
