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.
