Nail changes with thyroid disease have not been well studied. Nail findings are helpful in early diagnosis of thyroid disorders and therefore are important for dermatologist education. We reviewed the literature on nail changes in thyroid patients and found that onycholysis and slow-growing, thin nails are associated with hypothyroidism and that onycholysis, koilonychia, and brittle nails changes are associated with hyperthyroidism.
甲状腺疾病引起的指甲变化尚未得到充分研究。指甲的发现有助于甲状腺疾病的早期诊断，因此对皮肤科医生的教育很重要。我们回顾了甲状腺疾病患者指甲变化的文献，发现指甲剥离和生长缓慢、薄指甲与甲状腺功能减退有关，而指甲剥离、匙状甲和脆性指甲改变与甲状腺功能亢进有关。
