Chronic renal failure may often produce specific dermatological abnormalities. They may be directly related to the renal condition itself or its complications or to the therapy being used. According to a study done by Salem et al in 1999 (Nail changes in chronic renal failure patients under haemodialysis), color changes, half and half nail, absent lunula, onycholysis, brittle nail, Beau's lines, clubbing, longitudinal ridging, onychomycosis, subungual hyperkeratosis, koilonychias, total leukonychia, splinter hemorrhage, pitting and pincer nail deformity may be observed.I hope this helps. Take care and best regards.
