Until where on the hand should one wash after using the bathroom?

 Until where on the hand should one wash after using the bathroom?[1]

The entire hand is to be washed until the wrist. At the very least, it is to be washed until the knuckles. [The evil spirit is definitely not removed if one merely washes the tips of the fingers.]

[1] Ketzos Hashulchan 2:11 in name of Derech Chaim and Peri Megadim; M”B 4:38; Kaf Hachaim 4:64
