Upturned nails

Introduction The nail is tilted up to indicate that the end of the nail is in a raised state. Due to the lack of iron in the body, it affects a common anemia caused by hemoglobin synthesis. Before the production of red blood cells is restricted, the iron storage in the body is exhausted, which is called iron deficiency. This anemia is characterized by the lack of stainable iron in the bone marrow, liver, spleen and other tissues, serum iron concentration and serum transferrin saturation are reduced. Typical cases of anemia are small cell hypopigmentation.

Cause

The typical cause is iron deficiency anemia.

1. The amount of iron needed is insufficient and the intake is insufficient. Children need iron in the growing season and during lactation, especially in premature infants.

2, storage iron consumption is too much, because 2/3 of the total iron in the body is present in the red blood cells, so repeated, a large amount of blood loss can significantly consume iron stores in the body.

3, free iron loss too much, violent iron can be lost with gastrointestinal epithelial cells aging and continuous shedding.

The end of the nail appears to be lifted. If there is iron deficiency anemia, the color of the face and the color of the lips will be bad, and the change of the face seems very difficult to observe. It is often done by hemoglobin examination to know that it is anemia.

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of nail tilt:

1. The lower part of the nail is narrow: the spine and other bones are not susceptible to diseases, especially those with very soft nails. Calcium is always lacking.

2, shell-type nails: pay attention to small problems in the spinal cord and nervous system.

3, too many white spots on the nail: for the signs of neurasthenia, there are yellow spots, indicating that the disease is suffering from the digestive system.

4, the half-moon shape of the lower end of the nail is large: it means that the blood circulation is fast, if it is small, the blood circulation is not good, when it is extremely anemia, the half-moon shape will disappear.

5. There is a straight line on the nail, which is proof of overwork and overuse of the brain.
