Abstract
Introduction: CKD, like DM, is an independent risk factor for the development and course of foot ulcers.
Objective: The authors studied the incidence and risk factors of foot ulceration in patients with CKD and with or without DM and in patients receiving or not receiving HD.
Materials and methods: Patients with or without DM and with renal failure were divided into 4 groups of 40 patients each according to whether or not they were receiving HD. Data were collected using a patient information form, physical examination of the foot, and risk assessment forms.
Results: Lower extremity ulceration was highest in group 3 (HD+DM+) (15% [6 of 40]), that is, in patients with CKD and DM receiving HD (P = .421). Patients in group 3 were at highest risk for foot ulcers (72.5%) compared with other groups (P = .001). Risk factors associated with foot ulceration were advanced stage (ie, stage 4 or 5) CKD, HD treatment, age, BMI, history of lower extremity ulceration and/or amputation, foot deformities, skin and nail pathology, neuropathy, and vascular insufficiency.
Conclusions: Patients with CKD receiving HD are at high risk for foot ulcers, and this risk increases with the presence of DM.
期刊介绍:
Wounds is the most widely read, peer-reviewed journal focusing on wound care and wound research. The information disseminated to our readers includes valuable research and commentaries on tissue repair and regeneration, biology and biochemistry of wound healing, and clinical management of various wound etiologies.
Our multidisciplinary readership consists of dermatologists, general surgeons, plastic surgeons, vascular surgeons, internal medicine/family practitioners, podiatrists, gerontologists, researchers in industry or academia (PhDs), orthopedic surgeons, infectious disease physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. These practitioners must be well equipped to deal with a myriad of chronic wound conditions affecting their patients including vascular disease, diabetes, obesity, dermatological disorders, and more.
Whether dealing with a traumatic wound, a surgical or non-skin wound, a burn injury, or a diabetic foot ulcer, wound care professionals turn to Wounds for the latest in research and practice in this ever-growing field of medicine.
