Ulcerations of the lower limbs of venous origin are caused by the initiation of a complex cascade of changes in macro- and microcirculation. Life-threatening or increased amputation of the lower limbs are very rare in venous ulcerations. The problem here is a clear deterioration of the quality of life due to chronicity, pain and demands for long-term treatment. The chronic nature of the disease results from local, general and especially physical and psychosocial problems. In the article, the authors deal with selected aspects of the quality of life in patients suffering from ulcus cruris disease.
