3. Causes

Lung cancer is one cause of clubbed fingers, and it can also stem from other chronic diseases, including those affecting the thyroid gland and digestive tract conditions. Gastrointestinal and liver cancer and Hodgkin lymphoma can also lead to clubbed fingers. People with late-stage kidney disease may also develop clubbing of the fingers, particularly those on dialysis.
