Nail Clubbing

¿Qué es el clavado de uñas y cuáles son sus causas?

Nail clubbing is a deformity of the nails, which is unlike Koilonychia, and strongly associated with heart and lung pathologies, as well as with arthropathies.

The exact cause of nail clubbing is still unknown but the nail bed is affected. At the later stages of the condition, there is a thickening of the distal end of a finger.

However, it’s important to note that nail clubbing is not limited to heart and lung conditions alone. It can also be associated with other medical issues, such as gastrointestinal disorders, liver diseases, and certain genetic or hereditary conditions. Therefore, anyone experiencing nail clubbing should seek professional medical advice to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate care and treatment.
