Pathophysiology of Wound Development and Chronicity in Renal Disease: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Renal disease, including chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end‐stage renal disease (ESRD), has a profound impact on wound healing. Multiple studies have demonstrated that renal disease leads to an increased risk of diabetic foot ulcers, the formation of unique wounds like calciphylaxis, slower wound healing and a higher risk of amputation. This
