English
:
Skin breakdown or ulceration caused by
VARICOSE VEINS
in which there is too much
hydrostatic pressure
in the superficial venous system of the leg. Venous
hypertension
leads to increased
pressure
in the capillary bed, transudation of fluid and
proteins
into the interstitial space, altering blood flow and
supply
of
nutrients
to the skin and subcutaneous
tissues
, and eventual ulceration.
