One can find alot of conflicting information about fingernail appearances on the net.
Mayo even has one site!
The one I gave seemed to me the best I've viewed so far, but it might turn out to have errors as well.
The pictures are the clearest tho and the most helpful I have seen yet.
Fingernails can show disease. Kidney disease, clubbing, and splinter hemorrhages are the most often evaluated by doctors.
The less serious signs are often paid less attention.
Although, when my endo was screening me for my thyroid he looked at my nails carefully and palms (the palms were orange tinged, which is a sign of low thyroid). Nails will split and break if you are low.
