What is the reason for nail collapse? It turns out to be this

Nail collapse is a common phenomenon in daily life, but what exactly causes nail collapse? Most people don’t know much about this. In fact, there are 6 reasons for nail collapse. The first reason that can cause nail collapse is hypoxia.

1. What is the cause of nail depression?

1. Oxygen deficiency

Hypoxia can cause the body's arterial oxygen partial pressure to drop, resulting in hypoxia in the peripheral tissue blood circulation, causing nutritional metabolic disorders in the nails and forming nail depressions.

2. Heavy physical labor

Among people who suffer from nail pitting, those who do heavy physical labor are more likely to suffer from it than those who do light physical labor. The intensity of labor has a certain impact on nail pitting.

3. Nutritional status

Iron deficiency anemia and Rayynolds' disease, which causes limb ischemia, can both cause nail pitting. Nails also have a certain relationship with nutrition.

4. Long-term exposure to cold water

Long-term contact of fingers with cold water, spasm of peripheral blood vessels and direct immersion of nails in cold water may also be the causes of nail depression.

5. Cold Factor

The incidence of nail depression in people who work outdoors for a long time is significantly higher than in other types of work.

6. Caused by abnormal cysteine ​​metabolism

Some people also believe that anti-A may be caused by abnormal cysteine ​​metabolism. You should first consider whether you have iron deficiency anemia. Of course, there may be other reasons, so you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations and conduct corresponding treatment after finding out the cause.

2. Abnormal nail phenomenon

It is not subjective to measure a person's health condition by fingernails. A person must have good nutrition for the nails to grow normally, otherwise some abnormal phenomena will occur, and doctors can often use this to diagnose important diseases. Here are some abnormal nail phenomena.

1. Clubbing

The nails are prominently arched upward and curved around the fingers. Clubbing of the nails may indicate emphysema, tuberculosis, cardiovascular disease, ulcerative colitis, or cirrhosis of the liver.

2. Blue Crescent

If the crescent-shaped white mark at the base of the nail has a blue halo, it may indicate any of the following conditions: obstructed blood circulation, heart disease, Raynaud's syndrome, vasospasm of the fingers and toes, usually due to cold exposure. But sometimes it is also related to rheumatoid arthritis or the autoimmune disease lupus erythematosus.

3. Spoon-shaped nails

The middle of the nail is sunken, and the entire nail becomes flat or spoon-shaped. This type of nail is related to iron deficiency anemia, syphilis, thyroid disorder, rheumatic fever, etc.

4. Lindsay's Nails

The half of the nail near the tip is pink or brown, and the half near the nail is white. This type of nail is also called a two-part nail and may be a sign of chronic renal failure.
