    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Internal Medicine
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Nail abnormalities can indicate underlying systemic conditions.
    • Terry's nails are a specific nail finding with potential clinical significance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and clinical associations of Terry's nails in hospitalized patients.
    • To determine the pathological basis of this nail abnormality.

    Main Methods:

    • Examination of fingernails in 512 consecutive hospital inpatients.
    • Modified criteria used for identifying Terry's nails.
    • Tissue biopsy for histopathological analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Terry's nails were observed in 25.2% of patients.

  • The nail abnormality was significantly associated with cirrhosis, congestive heart failure, and diabetes mellitus.
  • Age was also a correlating factor, with increased systemic disease risk in younger patients with the disorder.

    • Conclusions:

    • Terry's nails are a common finding in hospitalized patients.
    • This nail disorder serves as a potential indicator for serious systemic diseases, including liver, cardiac, and endocrine conditions.
    • Distal telangiectasias are identified as the underlying cause of Terry's nails.
