Assessment of blood cortisol levels in patients with diabetic foot syndrome

Objective. To study blood cortisol level in patients with diabetic foot syndrome (DFS), to analyze the possibility of using as a biochemical criterion diagnosis and severity DFS. Materials methods. A non-randomized was performed on 59 patients, who were divided into two groups: 3rd degree deforming arthritis knee joint without history diabetes mellitus (DM) Venous collected an empty stomach determine levels cortisol, C-reactive protein, glycated hemoglobin, total hemoglobin. Results. Our data demonstrated that statistically significantly higher (p < 0.05) than normal experimental group DFS (701.69 (626.44; 904.63) nmol/L) when compared control arthrosis DM (423.7 (326.5; 516.20) nmol/L). Blood decreased 5 days after treatment 382.26 nmol/L. Body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.946; p 0.01) correlated type 2 complication In DFS, determination content has greatest diagnostic value other studied parameters (AUC, 0.915; 0.037). Cortisol gradually increases increase classification category University Texas. Conclusion . Determining can be useful well soft tissue damage lower extremities.
