摘要
Wound healing is impaired in many diabetics, who suffer increased risk of chronic foot ulceration and amputation. Diabetic patients with poor healing ability were found to possess significantly lower fasting urinary nitrate levels than diabetic patients with normal healing ability or non-diabetic controls, implicating decreased endogenous nitric oxide activity as the mediator of diabetes-impaired wound healing. Methods and kits are provided for predicting the wound healing ability of diabetic patients based on the levels of nitric oxide related products such as nitrate or nitrite in urine or other specimens. Methods are also provided for treating non-wound healing diabetics and monitoring diabetic ulcer treatment.
