Opaque, cloudy, white nails in patients with liver cirrhosis (see alcohol and skin changes). The lunula is not visible; the discoloration suddenly stops 1-2 mm before the distal end of the nail and leaves a pink area corresponding to the onychodermal band. All nails are equally affected.

Note(s)This section has been translated automatically.

The Terry nail should be identical to the half and half nails.
