Inflammation of both the stomach and the liver at the same time.
From gastro- (stomach) + hepatitis (inflammation of the liver). The -itis suffix (Greek itis, inflammation) is added to describe simultaneous inflammation in two adjacent organs related by their digestive functions.
Gastrohepatitis often happens together because the stomach and liver are neighbors who share blood supply and direct connections, so an infection or inflammation in one can easily spread to the other. Certain viruses like hepatitis A are notorious for causing this kind of double trouble.
