Hepatocrinology is defined as a bidirectional, complex relationship between hepatic physiology and endocrine function, hepatic disease and endocrine dysfunction, hepatotropic drugs and endocrine function, and endocrine drugs and hepatic health. The scope of hepatocrinology includes conditions of varied etiology (metabolic, infectious, autoimmune, and invasive) that we term as hepato-endocrine syndromes. This perspective shares the definition, concept, and scope of hepatocrinology and shares insight related to this aspect of medicine. It is hoped that this communication will encourage further attention and research in this critical field.
