Abstract in brief

Changes in nail color, especially white discoloration (leukonychia), can indicate serious health issues, ranging from harmless manicure habits to severe liver or kidney problems.
Leukonychia is classified in two ways: morphological (based on the pattern of discoloration) and anatomical (based on the structure causing the discoloration).
A new algorithm combines these classifications to help clinicians assess and diagnose leukonychia more efficiently.
