Relating to or characterized by hepatoliths (stones in the liver) or hepatolithiasis (formation of liver stones).
From hepato- (liver, Greek hepar) + -lithic (from Greek lithos 'stone' + -ic 'relating to'). This adjectival form describes conditions or features associated with liver stones.
Hepatolithic disease has an interesting geographical variation—it's endemic in parts of East Asia but rare in Western countries, suggesting that lifestyle, diet, parasitic exposure, and possibly genetic factors all play roles. Medical geography teaches us that disease isn't universal!
