👉 The term "hepatopneumonic" refers to a type of liver disease characterized by inflammation and scarring. This condition occurs when the liver is damaged or inflamed due to an infection, such as hepatitis B or C, or during a viral infection like hepatitis A. The liver is responsible for filtering toxins from the blood and regulating its own function. In this case, it may be infected with a virus that causes inflammation in the liver tissue, leading to scarring and damage.
