Clinical Profile of Patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcer and Its Correlation with Neuropathy, Peripheral Vascular Disease and Glycemic Control
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases. It is estimated that the annual Population based incidence of a diabetic foot ulcer ranges from 1.0 % to 4.1 %. The lifetime Incidence may be as high as 25%. 85% of Diabetes related amputations are preceded by foot ulcers, and it accounts for more than half of non-traumatic lower limb amputations. The vascular insufficiency and neuropathy accompanying the diabetic foot most often necessitate amputation of the limb. Diabetic foot is classified into 2 main types: NPU (neuropathic ulcer) and NIU (neuroischaemic ulcer). In NIU, PVD is also present in addition to neuropathy. Differentiation between NPU and NIU is important because they require different therapeutic strategies and their prognosis is different.
