hepatischen

Hepatischen is a German adjective form meaning hepatic, relating to the liver. It is the inflected form of the adjective hepatisch and is used in medical and scientific German to describe liver-related tissues, functions, or diseases.

The word derives from the Greek root hepar, meaning liver, and has entered medical vocabulary through Latin and German usage. In English, the equivalent adjective is hepatic, and the combining form hepat- appears in terms such as hepatology, hepatitis, and hepatocytes.

In usage, hepatisch appears in compounds and phrases such as hepatisches Gewebe (hepatic tissue) or hepatische Zellen (hepatic cells). The exact ending depends on case, number, and gender, so forms like hepatischen appear in contexts such as dative or accusative plural, or after certain determiners.
