hepatopetal
Explanation:
from: hepatopetaal

Hepatopetal denotes flow of blood towards the liver, is the normal direction of blood flow through the portal vein. Typically used when discussing the portal vein or recanalised vein of the ligamentum teres in patients with suspected portal hypertension.

It is the opposite of hepatofugal.

http://radiopaedia.org/articles/hepatopetal

Bloed afkomstig van de maagdarmtractus stroomt door de vena portae naar de lever. Deze stroomrichting wordt hepatopetaal genoemd. Bij patiënten met portale hypertensie kan deze stroomrichting veranderen; een gedeelte van het vena portae bloed arriveert dan niet in de lever, maar 'shunt' buiten de lever om rechtstreeks naar de grote circulatie via collaterale bloedvaten. Soms wordt al het vena portae bloed omgeleid, de portale stroomrichting wordt dan hepatofugaal genoemd.

  -> Thank you, aitam.
agree  Mike Wilkinson: Agree. But what's the point of asking questions like these - can be confirmed in seconds with Google? Ten questions in a row => I soon switch off; feels less like I'm helping someone out + more like I'm doing the tough bits of their job for them.

  -> Thank you, Mike. I suppose it would have been more obvious if the source said 'hepatopetaal'. Also, not all questions are as easy as this one.
