- Abstract
The nails may show various disorders ranging from simple changes such as fungal infections, to serious diseases such as lung or kidney, which are irreversible. The diseases that affect the connective tissue are the most correlated with changes in the nail beds. Among these, the most common disorders are those of the pulmonary system, cardiovascular and intestinal. The objective of this paper is to review the literature on the most common nail signs related to systemic diseases, facilitating early diagnosis and treatment. Based on the references consulted, we suggest that clinical examination of the nails is carried out to obtain important signs for the diagnosis of systemic diseases.
