The Role of Pentoxifylline on Distal lower Extremities Ulcers
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Venous ulcers are the major occurrence of chronic wounds, occurring in 70% to 90% of leg ulcer cases. Venous ulcers develop mostly along the medial distal leg, and can be very painful with significant effects on quality of life.Venous ulcers affect approximately 1% of the world's population, increasing health care expenditures and decreasing quality of life. Several hypotheses may help explain their origin. Insufficient veins or valves or impaired muscle function may lead to abnormal calf muscle pump function that can elevate ambulatory venous pressure. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of pentoxifylline in treating chronic venous ulcers specially of lower extremities.
