Thick, yellow, or crumbly toenails are common in fungal infections. Most people blame tight shoes or locker rooms. But liver health could also play a role here.
A compromised liver can weaken the immune system over time. When the immune response slows down, it becomes easier for fungal organisms to settle in and thrive, especially in the dark, moist environment around the toenails. It’s a sign that the body might be losing some of its natural defences.
