What do splenorenal and prominent umbilical varices mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prob. bad liver: Splenorenal usually indicates blood vessels between spleen & kidneys. Umbilical (around belly button) varices are swollen/enlarged blood vessels (sometimes referred to as medusa's head). Both can be alternate blood flow path for someone with severe liver disease. Should see GI dr/hepatologist.
