What is the term for the lifting of the nail plate without shedding?

Onycholysis
Onychomycosis
Onychogryphosis
Leukonychia

The correct answer is: Onycholysis

Onycholysis is the correct term for the lifting of the nail plate without shedding. It is often seen in individuals who frequently expose their nails to moisture, harsh chemicals, or trauma. This condition can also be a symptom of other underlying health issues such as thyroid disease or psoriasis. On the other hand, Onychomycosis (B) is a fungal infection of the nail, Onychogryphosis (C) is a thickening and curling of the nail, and Leukonychia (D) is a condition where white spots appear on the nails. These conditions may mimic Onycholysis, but they do not accurately describe the specific lifting of the nail plate without shedding. Therefore, they are incorrect options for this question.
