Abstract

Ulcer development in a diabetic patient's
foot can cause serious morbidity and even mortality in patients. In these
patients, a small infection can rapidly increase sepsis during the day due to
the effects of both vascular pathologies and the disorder of blood sugar
regulation, especially the mechanical problems leading to impaired load
distribution. The physiological working process of the liver is becoming more
difficult with using of painkillers and antibiotics and septic process.
This
case was initially hospitalized for evaluation and treatment plan for infected
diabetic foot ulcer.

However, additional investigations
were necessary because of the icterus that is required to be detected in terms
of the primary liver problem. Clinically detectable icterus of the amputated
patient due to diabetic foot infection and impaired liver function tests have
dramatically improved with the elimination of source of infection after
amputation.

Diyabetik ayak sebebiyle sepsis gelişen bir hastada şiddetli kolestatik sarılık

Abstract


Bir diyabetli hastanın ayağında
ülser gelişmesi hastalarda ciddi morbidite ve hatta mortaliteye neden
olabilmektedir. Bu hastalarda yük dağılımında bozukluğa yol açan mekanik
problemler başta olmak üzere hem vasküler patolojiler hem de kan şekeri
regülasyonu bozukluğunun etkisiyle küçük bir enfeksiyon odağı günler içinde
hızla sepsise ilerleyebilmektedir. Kullanılan ağrı kesici ve antibiyotiklerin karaciğere
olumsuz etkisi ve septik tablonun da katkısı ile karaciğerin fizyolojik çalışma
süreci zorlaşmaktadır. Bu vakanın öncelikli olarak enfekte diyabetik ayak
ülserine yönelik değerlendirme ve tedavi planı için hastaneye yatışı
yapılmıştır. Bununla birlikte primer karaciğer problemi açısından
değerlendirilmeyi gerekli kılacak kadar şiddetli sarılığı olması ek
araştırmaları gerekli kılmıştır. Diyabetik ayak enfeksiyonu nedeniyle ampütasyon
yapılan hastanın operasyon öncesi klinik olarak saptanabilen sarılığı ve bozulmuş
olan karaciğer fonksiyon testleri ampütasyon sonrası enfeksiyon odağının yok
edilmesiyle dramatik şekilde düzelmiştir.
