FOOT INFECTIONS IN DIABETICS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

DIABETIC FOOT INFECTION

CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease)

Patients have compromised renal function. They have raised serum creatinine for which they are on medical treatment or on some kind of dialysis — hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis etc. 

Diabetes and CKD together are a dangerous combination leading to spontaneous gangrene, small injuries which increase rapidly or conversely long standing wounds which take long times to heal or may not heal at all. These are challenging cases where the skill & knowledge of the treating doctor are tested to the utmost so as to deliver the most favourable result to the patient. 

Patience of both doctor and patient are tested as it may take a long time for the wounds to heal alongwith which patient compliance is extremely important.

Some case results are shown below of patients with chronic kidney disease with foot infection :
