Terry's nails is a physical finding in which fingernails and/or toenails〔Freedberg, et al. (2003). ''Fitzpatrick's Dermatology in General Medicine''. (6th ed.). McGraw-Hill. ISBN 0-07-138076-0.〕 appear white with a characteristic "ground glass" appearance, with no lunula. The condition is thought to be due to a decrease in vascularity and an increase in connective tissue within the nail bed. It frequently occurs in the setting of liver failure, cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, hyperthyroidism, and/or malnutrition. Eighty percent of patients with severe liver disease have Terry's nails, but they are also found in patients with kidney failure, in patients with congestive heart failure〔 Nia et al. in Am J Med. 2011 Jul;124(7):602-4.〕 and are described as a brown arc near the ends of the nails.〔Examination Medicine. Nicolas J Tally. MacLennan and Petty Pty Ltd. 2003〕 The recognition of characteristic nail patterns, such as Terry’s nails, may be a helpful herald for early diagnosis of systemic diseases.〔 Nia et al. Am J Med. 2011 Jul;124(7):602-4. www.cardiovascular-research.org 〕 This was named for Dr. Richard Terry, White nails in hepatic cirrhosis. Lancet. 1954;1:756–9. == See also ==
