Hypoalbuminemia, characterized by low levels of albumin in the blood, can lead to leuconychia, which is the whitening of the nails. This condition occurs because albumin plays a crucial role in maintaining osmotic pressure and fluid balance in tissues. When albumin levels are low, it can result in edema and changes in the nail matrix, leading to the appearance of white spots or bands on the nails. Additionally, hypoalbuminemia may indicate underlying systemic issues that can affect nail health.

Hematuria is more commonly linked to other kidney conditions, such as glomerulonephritis.
