Background: Recent evidence states that about a quarter of all diabetic patients will experience an ulcer on foot at some point in their lifetime and 15-25% of these will require foot amputation. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients presenting with Diabetic foot ulcer. Methods: The present study was carried out at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center (JPMC), Sindh from February-August 2017. Over 100 Type 2 - DM patients, aged between 35-60 years who presented with diabetic foot ulcer took part in this study. Data was collected and documented in pre-approved pro-forma, subsequently, entered and analyzed via SPSS version 19. Chi-square was applied to test any significant difference between the categories with a p-value of ≤0.05 considered as significant. Results: The mean serum creatinine (mg/dl) value was reported to be 1.17 ± 0.45. Frequency of CKD in Type 2 - DM patients presenting with diabetic foot ulcer was 31%. Male gender was affected more from CKD. Frequency distribution of chronic kidney disease among duration of DM groups 10-15 years = 35.5% and >15 years = 64.5%. The characteristics of HbA1c (g/dl) of study population was 8.34 ± 0.59. Conclusion: Occurrence of CKD in Type 2 - DM patients presenting with diabetic foot ulcer was much higher as compared to national and international studies. Therefore, special attention should be given on regular screening of diabetic patients with a complaint of a foot ulcer.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious non-communicable disease that poses a significant burden on healthcare and society. It is essential to devise new strategies to better treat patients with CKD. Research has illustrated that gut dysbiosis, describing an abnormal intestinal ecology, is closely associated with CKD. In this narrative review, we summarized the evidence of their mutual relationship and discussed the potential treatment options to correct gut dysbiosis in patients with CKD. Gut dysbiosis significantly increases the risk of CKD, especially in the older population. Gut dysbiosis also plays a role in CKD complications, such as hypertension, cardiovascular events, and cognitive dysfunction. The relationship between gut dysbiosis and CKD is bidirectional, and CKD itself can lead to changes in gut microecology. The usual therapies for CKD can also increase the incidence of gut dysbiosis. Meanwhile, probiotics and antibiotics are generally used to correct gut dysbiosis. Further studies are required to elaborate the association between gut dysbiosis and CKD, and more treatment options should be explored to prevent CKD in patients with gut dysbiosis.

In the present study, a total of 428 South Indian subjects were divided into four different groups, consisting of individuals with type 2 diabetes without any other complications (T2DM), T2DM subjects with stage 2 and 3 diabetic kidney disease (CKD), T2DM subjects with grade 2 or 3 diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and T2DM subjects having both diabetic kidney disease and diabetic foot ulcer (CKDDFU). The study was conducted ambispectively by comparing the changes in renal function among two consecutive periods, i.e., the period prior to the development of grade 2 and 3 diabetic foot ulcer (retrospectively) and after the development of DFU (prospectively). A gradual and uniform reduction of eGFR was observed throughout the study period in the subjects affected with either CKD or DFU alone. Whereas in subjects with both CKD and DFU, there was a sharp decline in the eGFR during the six months prior to the baseline, i.e., the period in which the development of ulcer and its progression to grade 2 or 3 happened. Remarkable elevations in the levels of TGF-β1 and CCN2 (CTGF), as well as a significant reduction in the level of CCN3 (NOV), were observed in the serum of CKDDFU group subjects, compared to the other groups. Increased production of TGF-β1 in response to the inflammatory stimulus from multiple sites in CKDDFU subjects caused a subsequent down-regulation of CCN3, followed by the activation of a large quantity of CCN2.

Introduction: Foot ulcers cause women in Indonesia to lose opportunities to participate in religious and cultural activities due to the inability to wear certain footwear. This study examined body image as a mediator in the relationship between gender and quality of life (QoL) among patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) in Indonesia. Method: A cross-sectional design with convenience sampling was used to recruit participants at the Surgical Outpatient Department and Wound Care Clinic in Bali, Indonesia. The Diabetic Foot Ulcer Scale–Short Form and the body image domain of the Body Investment Scale were administered. Results: We found gender differences in participants’ ( n = 201) QoL and body image ( p < .05). Body image fully mediated the effect of the relationship between gender and QoL (B = 6.68; 95% confidence interval [3.14, 10.52]) and explained 39.13% of the variance. Discussion: Health care providers should consider patients’ religious beliefs in DFU education and consider women’s body image issues. Diabetes foot ulcer may prevent women from performing religious rituals, thus, influencing their QoL. Protective strategies to prevent DFU among women in Indonesia warrant further development.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between wound severity, discomfort, and psychological problems in patients with a diabetic foot ulcer in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study is conducted in three general hospitals and one clinic in Indonesia. The Bates-Jensen wound assessment tool (BWAT), the discomfort evaluation of wound instrument (DEWI), and the depression, anxiety, and stress scale (DASS) are used to measure the variables of interest. Path analysis is performed to evaluate the association between wound severity, discomfort, and psychological problems. Results: Of 140 patients with diabetic foot ulcers who joined this study, the majority experienced immobilization (74.3 %), pain (69.3 %), and sleep disturbance (63.6 %). The means were as follows: discomfort (2.35 ± 0.33), depression (1.34 ± 0.41), stress (1.49 ± 0.48), anxiety (1.43 ± 0.40), and wound severity (31.35 ± 9.96). Discomfort partially mediated the relationship between wound severity and psychological problems, which indirect effect was 0.11. Conclusion: High prevalence of discomfort, both physical and psychological, was found in patients with a diabetic foot ulcer. Discomfort mediates the relationship between wound severity and psychological problems. Integrating comfort into wound care management may help to reduce the psychological burden.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between osteomyelitis complications and drug-resistant infection risk in diabetic foot ulcer. Searches of MEDLINE and ISI databases were performed for the studies. Odds ratios (ORs) for drug-resistant infection incidence were calculated for diabetic foot ulcer patients with or without osteomyelitis complications. Eleven studies (12 cohorts) with 1526 patients were included in this study. Meta-analysis showed that the summary OR was 3.343 (95% CI = 2.355-4.745; Z = 6.75, P < .00001) when compared with osteomyelitis group and without osteomyelitis group. Significant publication bias was found. Sensitivity analysis by only pooled the adjusted ORs showed that the result was robust (the summary OR = 4.081, 95% CI = 2.471-6.739). Subgroup analysis by drug-resistant type showed that the summary OR was 4.391 (95% CI = 2.287-8.394) for methicillin-resistant infection subgroup, and 2.693 (95% CI = 1.882-3.851) for multidrug-resistant infection subgroup. The meta-regression showed that drug-resistant incidence ( t = −0.90, P = .389) and published year ( t = −0.11, P = .913) were not related with the OR changes. In conclusion, our meta-analysis indicates that osteomyelitis complications are related with drug-resistant infection risk in diabetic foot ulcer. We suggest bone culture–based narrow-spectrum antibiotic therapy for osteomyelitis for prevention drug-resistant infection in diabetic foot ulcer.

Objectives: Patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) and foot ulcer have poor prognosis. However, no study have found association of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) with diabetic kidney dysfunction and their co-existing risk factors. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study collected the data for 10,680 patients for 15 years. All variables were analyzed biochemically and statistically by standardized methodology. Results: Levels of HbA1c, creatinine, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, microalbuminuria, spot urine protein, and spot urine protein to creatinine ratio were higher among the groups with foot ulcers (p-value < 0.0001 for all). Average ABI was observed to be lower among the groups demonstrating nephropathy and DKD (p=0.025 and 0.022 respectively. DFU was significantly associated with HTN (odds ratio 2.2; 95% CI 1.66 to 2.9; p < 0.0001), nephropathy (odds ratio 4.77; 95% CI 3.53 to 6.5; p < 0.0001) and DKD (odds ratio 4.77 and 6.83; 95% CI 4.6 to 10.2; p < 0.0001). HbA1c of 7.8% was 60% sensitive and 52% specific for the development of DFU. Creatinine of 1.2 mg/dl was 75% sensitive and 48% specific for DFU. Spot urine protein excretion from nephrons of 35 mg/dl was 88% sensitive and 90% specific for the development of DFU. Conclusion: Nephropathy/DKD are risk factors for the development of DFU. With optimal diabetes control, regular and routine assessment of the feet and early screening of diabetic patients for neuropathy, nephropathy, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and other diabetic complications are essential. Doi: 10.28991/SciMedJ-2021-0304-6 Full Text: PDF
