What Causes Index And Thumb Finger Nails To Turn Yellow When Having Kidney Problem?
Both my right and left index and thumb finger nails are beginning to turn yellow at the tips and it runs to about midway down my nail. I have also noticed some numbing and tingling in only those fingers. I am known to have kidney problems but that is about it. Any advice would be appreciated. Should I see a doctor?

Hi,
It may be yellow nail syndrome. It occurs in a patient having kidney problems. So, consult the nephrologist and dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
