Explanation

Hepatobiliary transfer time refers to the amount of time it takes for a substance to move from the liver to the bile ducts and then to the small intestine. This process is part of the body's way of digesting food and getting rid of waste. Doctors often measure this time to check how well the liver and bile ducts are working. If the transfer time is too long or too short, it could indicate a problem with these organs.
