My son has clubbed nails he went to a heart doc those tests came back good and the doc asked him what he thought about the clubbing and that was it nothing more they didn't refer him to any other doc for tests or anything. He was not born with this his nails were normal until maybe teenage years and its not hereditary or anything. So very alarming to me. Why wouldn't a doc wanna run other tests to try to find out maybe underlying problems causing this?

My grandfather has fingers like that, his brothers, which are my uncles.. And my dad too, and none of them died of anything like thay, my grandfather is still alive and so is my dad and I remember always having them like that, not so much though its just slightly.

Hi Dr, can it be idiopathic and if so, how often is a cause unknown?

[emenyoapaloo]

Thank you so much for the video!
I'd like to find out from you; what exactly will push the megakaryocytes into the systemic blood? How do any of the causes prevent the megakaryocytes from being broken down in the lungs? Thanks!

I do have single digit clubbing. Is this due to my mitral valve prolapse? Thanks.

[MFateh]

Don't megakaryocytes fragment in bone marrow? Not the lungs?

[psydoc]

Great video, well presented! Thanks a lot. A quick question though, so megakryocytes aren't cleaved while moving out the bone marrow?

[sumitdeb]

Same problem affected my fingers...please give me solution

[herstory]

I am confused on the number of degrees created when 2 fingers are put together, what is normal and what suggests pulmonary fibrosis. You illustrations show them with only 1 finger. So does it mean that the normal without pulmonary fibrosis shows no hole when 2 fingers are put together, so an almost straight line means there is no disease when you only view 1finger?
Your prompt response will be appreciated.

[roshanp]

I have mild clubbing but no symptoms of any disease. I think I had it probably for years. My parents don't have it.Should I worry about that. Please reply?
