Foot and Wound Care

Foot and wound care services are crucial for preventing, diagnosing early, and treating wounds, particularly those caused by diabetes and circulatory disorders. A significant proportion of dialysis patients also have hypertension and diabetes. Before kidney failure develops in these patients, other systems in the body—such as the circulatory, nervous, and visual systems—may also be affected. Circulatory insufficiency, nerve damage that reduces the ability to sense pain and pressure, and metabolic disorders often create conditions that lead to wounds, especially in pressure-prone areas like the soles of the feet. If left untreated, these wounds can lead to serious complications such as infection and tissue loss. This service includes regular foot examinations, detection of conditions that can compromise skin integrity such as calluses, cracks, or fungal infections, and the provision of necessary care. For existing wounds, appropriate dressings, medication, and advanced treatments are applied when needed. The goal is to minimize the risk of infection, accelerate healing, and maintain quality of life. Our platform helps you access information about institutions that provide this service, including location and contact details, making it easier to find the dialysis center most suitable for your needs.
