Most likely diagnostic options for Linday's nails, where the pink zone may cover 20% up to 60% of the nail length - not be confused with 'Terry's nails', where the pink zone is smaller (ranked by 'weight' for the general population):
- ASSOCIATED MEDICAL CONDITIONS:
• severe chronic renal failure (kidney) [~35% | 1:32 | weight: 0,73]
• azotemia (= nitrogen excess in blood) [~80% | 1:200 | weight: 0,27]
• hemodialysis patients (sev. kidney problems) [~70% | 1:600 | w: 0.08]
• renal transplant patients (sev. kidney failure) [~56% | 1:1800 | w: 0.02]
- ASSOCIATED PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS:
(Unknown)
[1st figure = prevalence hand sign in condition | 2nd
figure = prevalence condition in GP | 3rd figure =
estimated hand sign weight for condition relative
to GP (>0,5 = present in majority of GP cases)]
|
Quick summary:
a large majority (~90%) of hands featured
with Lindsay's nails involves chronic renal failure or azotemia
(or another condition with kidney failure involved).
[In every 100 Lindsay's nails cases in the general population (GP) you can expect to find
73 chronic renal failure cases, 27 azotemia cases, etc.]
NOTICE: in the general population 1 in 32 people have chronic renal failure; initially, kidney disease often has no symptoms and can go undetected until it is very advanced.
