Yes, cirrhosis can lead to specific nail changes. Common alterations include the appearance of white nails (leukonychia), clubbing, and the presence of transverse white lines (Muehrcke's lines). These changes are often associated with the underlying liver dysfunction and can provide clinical clues regarding the severity of the disease.
