- Beau’s lines are horizontal, goes across the nailline.
- Beau’s lines are actual ridges and indentations in the nail plate
What are the causes of Beau’s line?
Temporary cessation of cell division in the nail matrix

How to differentiate Muehrcke lines and Mee’s lines from Beau’s lines?
Differentiate Muehrcke lines and Mee’s lines from Beau’s lines | ||
| 1 | Beau’s line | Beau’s lines are actual ridges |
| 2 | Muehrcke lines | Hypopigmentation without palpable ridges |
| 3 | Mees’ lines of the fingernails | Which are areas of discoloration in the nail plate. |
Muehrcke lines – areas of hypopigmentation without palpable ridges
Beau’s line – Beau’s lines are actual ridges
Mees’ lines of the fingernails – which are areas of discoloration in the nail plate.
Muehrcke’s lines :
Muehrcke’s lines | |
| Muehrcke’s lines | Strong indicator of hypoalbuminemia |
| In contrast to Beau’s lines | Muehrcke’s lines are not grooved (no 3-dimensional deformity) |
| In contrast to Mees’ line | Thumb is usually not involved in Muehrcke’s lines |
Strong indicator of hypoalbuminemia
In contrast to Beau’s lines – Muehrcke’s lines are not grooved (no 3-dimensional deformity)
In contrast to Mees’ lines – thumb is usually not involved in Muehrcke’s lines
