Investigations of the system of general and regional hemostasis in patients with diabetes mellitus and the IVth degree of ischemia of lower extremities have established the development of chronic hypercoagulation-thrombotic forms of disseminated intravascular blood coagulability. Prophylactics of thrombotic complications allows to avoid high amputations in 80% of the patients, to make only necrectomies, small amputations and dermoplasty.
