Nail color reveals: Kidney disease

A study on 100 patients with chronic kidney disease which took place in India found a troubling discovery. 36% of patients had half-and-half nails, which lead scientists to believe that your natural nail color could reveal this harmful condition. More to the point, the top of their nails were brown while the bottom half were white.

Scientists believe that this coloration could be caused by an increased concentration of certain hormones and chronic anemia which, you guessed it, are traits of chronic kidney disease.

Basically, if you notice these distinctive colors on your nail, or dark vertical stripes beneath the nail bed, it’s time to contact your doctor!
