    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Internal Medicine
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Nail abnormalities are often early indicators of systemic diseases.
    • These changes can be crucial for physical diagnosis and patient prognosis.
    • Identifying the onychopathologic etiology prevents incorrect and costly treatments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To categorize nail abnormalities based on their characteristics.
    • To correlate specific nail signs with underlying systemic diseases.
    • To provide a diagnostic framework for dermatologists.

    Main Methods:

    • Review and classification of nail changes.
    • Correlation of nail findings with known systemic conditions.
    • Grouping of signs by characteristic and causative disease.
