Fibrinogen: A Marker in Predicting Diabetic Foot Ulcer Severity

Table 2

Comparison of fibrinogen and other inflammation markers between patients with DFU (grades 1-2) and DFU (grade ≧ 3).

DFU1 ()DFU2 () value

WBC (×109/L)<0.0001
Neutrophil (×109/L)<0.0001
CRP (mg/L)<0.0001
Fibrinogen (g/L)<0.0001

DFU1: diabetic foot ulcer (grades 1-2); DFU2: diabetic foot ulcer (grade ≧ 3); WBC: white blood cell; CRP: C-reactive protein.
