A member asked:
Does blue veins in the stomach mean a problem with the liver, blood backing up in the liver? 2 yrs ago i had mild fatty liver could the veins mean bad
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes most definitely: spider veins or varicose angiomata are usually a sign of portal hypertension and liver disease, cirrhosis being the most common. Non-alcoholic hepatosteatosis (NASH) is also gaining more popularity.
