Platelet-rich plasma effective treatment option for venous ulcers: Study
A new review study published in the recent issue of the Wound Repair and Regeneration journal found study data to support the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of venous ulcer patients. Ulcers or chronic wounds are skin breaches that often reoccur and either do not heal at all or take a very long period to cure. Numerous ulcer forms, including venous, arterial, diabetic, pressure, and traumatic ulcers, can be classified as non-healing ulcers. The most prevalent type of chronic ulcers affecting the lower extremities among all of them are venous ulcers, which have a major effect on both job productivity and quality of life. In the population over 60, the prevalence of chronic venous insufficiency ranges from 1% to 2%. In the past, anatomical processes of valvular incompetence were the main focus of research on venous reflux illness. Recent studies on the cellular and molecular causes of venous insufficiency have demonstrated that the illness is a multifaceted, intricate process that reflects both cellular inflammatory response and systemic anomalies in connective tissue formation.
