Medical - Medical: Cardiology / Anamnesis
German term or phrase: spitzer Randbewinkelung
Abdomen: Die Bauchdecke ist weich, kein lokal auslösbarer Druckschmerz, keine Resistenzen. Blumberg negativ. Die Leber ist glatt sowie weich palpabel mit spitzer Randbewinkelung. Nierenlager bds. frei. Mittellebhafte Darmgeräusche über allen vier Quadranten auskultierbar.

Its a part of the Anamnese of a Discharge report.

I have chosen "Cardiology" as the category simply because the patient has come in for a valve replacement and the discharge report talks about other medical conditions too.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
