TO CORRELATE eGFR IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETIC FOOT ULCER

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease condition where the control of glucose levels in blood is inadequate. Estimated Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) refers to the rate of flow of the fluid that is filtered through the glomerulus in the kidney, which is estimated by some formulas. Diabetic patients tend to develop ulceration of the foot due to peripheral sensory neuropathy. So, preventing and managing Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is also important in patients with diabetic foot ulcer, along with prevention of amputations. Aim of the study: (a) To look at the demographics of the patients with diabetic foot ulcer (b) To see the extent of the injury in foot- clinical and amputation status (c) To study the oxygen saturation levels in the periphery (d) To calculate the eGFR in patients with diabetic foot ulcer Materials and Methods: (a) It’s a prospective study conducted on 80 patients with diabetic foot ulcer who attended the Outpatient Department of Surgery in Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, a tertiary care hospital in Chennai, India. (b) We conducted clinical and radiological examination (c) We calculated eGFR through a predetermined scoring system Result: Out of the 80 pa
