Weak nails are usually perceived as a signal from the body about problems with the stomach or intestines. However, they can tell the attending physician much more. Sibkray.ru listed what condition of the nails can be the reason for the examination.

Excessive softness and elasticity of the nail plate may indicate a lack of vitamins, iron, phosphorus and other substances necessary for the body.
Hollows and furrows, not only do they look unaesthetic, but they can also be harbingers of kidney disease or fungus.
If the nails have acquired an unpleasant yellow tint, then you should look for the presence of a fungal infection, thyroid disease or diabetes.
