Abstract
“Population of patients with the impaired kidney function grows around the world. With the advances of the contemporary medicine people live to the older age, survive cardiac and cerebrovascular events, recover from the complex surgeries, overcome malignancies, infections and autoimmune diseases. That all frequently leads to the development of variable degree of chronic kidney impairment in form of interstitial and/or glomerular injury. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often share risk factors of hypertension, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, arterial and venous vascular disease, obesity, malnutrition and chronic inflammatory state. Spectrum of the renal disorders presenting in forms of acute kidney injury (AKI), CKD and End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) have complex negative impact on wound development and healing, and therefore provide continuous challenge for the surgeons and wound specialists.”
