Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a common and growing disease. It affects people who drink little alcohol. The main characteristic of this disease is the liver’s storage of a large amount of fat.
Finger clubbing is one of the warning signs of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), where deterioration in liver function leads to an increase in the thickness of the skin under the fingernails.
The delay in diagnosing the disease causes cirrhosis of the liver or a failure in its functions. According to the “Pharmaceutical Journal”, finger clubbing is one of the warning signs of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), where the deterioration of liver function leads to an increase in the thickness of the skin under the fingernails and toenails.
Finger clubbing is also known by other names, which are drumstick fingers, hippocratic fingers, and watch bottle nails. There are other reliable symptoms to detect non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, including:
Yellowing of the whites of the eyes and skin (jaundice)
Ascites, i.e. fluid retention in the abdominal cavity.
– splenomegaly.
