Understanding KOH Staining, Nail in Coimbatore


What is KOH Staining, Nail in Coimbatore?

The KOH Staining, Nail test is a simple non-invasive test used to detect fungal infections in nails. A sample of nail debris is collected from the infected area and treated with a KOH (potassium hydroxide) solution, which dissolves in a reagent (chemical dye), making fungal elements like hyphae or spores visible under a microscope. This test is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Coimbatore. 

The KOH Staining, Nail test is advised when an individual is experiencing symptoms suggestive of nail fungus causing thickened, discolored, brittle, crumbly or ragged nail, chalky or cloudy spot in nails, nails separated from the nail bed, etc. It is commonly used in the evaluation of conditions like athlete’s foot, candida infections, ringworm (dermatophytosis), and jock itch. Additionally, it can help distinguish fungal infections from other conditions that cause similar symptoms, such as psoriasis or trauma-related nail changes. 

No special preparation is required for the KOH Staining, Nail. Eat and drink as per your daily routine.
