TROPHIC DISORDERS IN VARICOSE DISEASE – EPIDEMIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Abstract

Trophic disorders in chronic venous insufficiency of the lower extremities is currently an important problem. In countries with developed economies, in chronic venous insufficiency, 15–18% of the population has decompensated forms with severe trophic skin disorders. We studied 10326 case histories and statistical charts of patients with varicose veins of the lower extremities, of which 2275 patients had chronic venous insufficiency C4-C6 (from 2010 to 2019). The paper shows the structure of the incidence of chronic venous insufficiency C4-C6, the influence of the age of men and women on the development of trophic disorders in varicose saphenous veins of the lower extremities. Causes of chronic venous insufficiency C4-C6 are shown.
