Cardiovascular
- Cyanosis
A common symptom is a bluish tint to the skin, called cyanosis. [healthline.com]
The upper extremities are thus spared the effects of the shunt, whereas the lower extremities are not, resulting in differential clubbing and cyanosis. [nejm.org]
Congenital cardiac disease with cyanosis implies that cyanosis is a major feature at presentation. They are disorders where the shunt is right to left. [gpnotebook.co.uk]

He was also prescribed 40% urea cream for thickened nails and iontophoresis was performed regularly for hyperhidrosis. [idoj.in]
Peripheral neurovascular disease with cyanosis, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), paresthesias, and muscular weakness can also occur. Pachydermoperiostosis is a syndrome that combines hyper-trophic osteoarthropathy and acromegalic features. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The skin changes include marked thickening and oiliness of the skin of the hands, forearms, and legs; accentuation of facial folds; hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet; and reduplication and furrowing of skin over the scalp. [healtreatcure.org]

If there are no findings on the history or physical examination, the next step is to identify whether the patient has a family history of HOA (positive symptoms for arthralgia and/or bone pain) or clubbing. Table 1. [racgp.org.au]

Workup
Significance of Digital Clubbing Clubbing is a clinical sign which may indicate and prompt the workup for an underlying disease. It is often seen in pulmonary conditions. However, clubbing is also seen in some people without any underlying disease. [medcaretips.com]

Prognosis Clubbing is potentially reversible if the underlying condition is treated early enough but the changes may be irreversible once collagen deposition has set in. [patient.info]
If not, there is a positive diagnosis of clubfoot. [26] Prognosis Prognosis can be dependant on when treatment begins. [physio-pedia.com]
Etiology
Etiology It results from proliferation of the connective tissues between the nail matrix and the distal phalanx and abnormal function of the nail matrix. [orpha.net]
Etiology of clubbing in most of the time is secondary to some systemic illness. Familial clubbing is a rare occurrence and incidence or prevalence of such occurrence is not known. [atharvapub.net]

Prevention
Can clubbing be prevented? The only way to prevent clubbing is by taking steps to prevent and manage the underlying conditions that cause it. [healthline.com]
The results also suggest that existing drugs such as aspirin, which are already used to prevent PGE2 production, may be effective in reducing the painful symptoms of finger clubbing. [sciencedaily.com]
