Pale hands reveal: Anemia

Do you happen to have pale hands? Then they might reveal anemia. Acute and chronic anemia are linked to other issues such as hypothyroidism and sickle cell disease.

These forms of anemia occur when a person does not have enough healthy blood cells to carry oxygen through the body. That’s why patients with anemia experience pale skin and nail beds. As such, pale palms could be a strong indicator for anemia, as reported by the American Society of Hematology.

Even if you’re unsure whether or not your hands are truly pale, and even if you can’t tell by your nail beds, it’s always good to bring concerns of anemia up with your medical professional.
