Early Outpatient bFGF-Based Wound Care for Foot Lesions in Haemodialysis Patients: A Real-World Stepwise Limb-Salvage Strategy From Japan.

Key takeaways

This study looked at 20 people on dialysis who had foot sores. They used a cream with a growth factor to help the wounds heal. The study shows a link between this treatment and healing, but it is not proof of cause. It was a small group of people, so the results may not apply to everyone.
