Relationship Between Chronic Kidney Disease and Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Abstract

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a significant complication of diabetes. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can exacerbate the risk and worsen the prognosis of DFU, leading to a substantial economic burden on both individuals and society. There may be a relationship between CKD and DFU. This review primarily explores the potential mechanisms underlying the occurrence of DFU in CKD patients, aiming to provide a foundation and guidance for subsequent clinical treatment and management.
