What Is the Free DFU Record Review?

DFU Care China offers a complimentary medical record review for international patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). This service is designed to provide you with an expert, second opinion on your current treatment plan and to determine if you might benefit from advanced care available in China. The review includes a thorough assessment of your wound images, medical records, imaging studies, and laboratory results by a team of specialists.

This is not a generic consultation; it is a personalized evaluation of your unique situation. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision about your healthcare options, whether that involves traveling to China or continuing with your current care.

What Information to Prepare

To ensure a comprehensive review, please gather the following documents and information. The more detailed your submission, the more accurate our assessment will be.

Checklist of Documents

Recent wound photos: Take clear, well-lit photos of your ulcer from multiple angles. Include a ruler or coin for scale. Photos should be taken within the last week.
HbA1c levels: Your most recent HbA1c test result (within the last 3 months, if possible).
Vascular imaging: Any results from Doppler ultrasound, angiography, or CT/MRI of the lower extremities.
Medication list: A complete list of all medications you are currently taking, including dosages and frequency.
Medical history: A summary of your diabetes history, any previous DFU treatments, surgeries, or hospitalizations.
Laboratory results: Recent blood tests, including complete blood count, kidney function, and inflammatory markers.
Imaging studies: Any X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans of your foot or leg.
Current treatment plan: A description of your current wound care regimen, including dressings, offloading, and any antibiotics.

If you are missing some items, do not worry. Submit what you have, and our team will let you know if additional information is needed.
