Abstract

Abstract Diabetes Mellitus II is a public health problem worldwide so that it is associated with macro and microvascular complications, one of them is diabetic foot ulcer that generate an increase in the morbidity and mortality of patients and the costs of health supplies. Due to the concern generated about this disease it is important to carry out research on vitamin D to determine serum levels in patients with diabetic foot ulcers because it is involved in the processes of bone regeneration, healing and homeostasis. The objective of this work is to identify the relationship between vitamin D deficiency in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. For the process of synthesis and presentation of the results, the PRISMA method will be used and for the development of the systematic review of the literature it was based on the electronic search in databases such as Pubmed, Scopus. A total of 20 articles were obtained in which it was shown that deficient of vitamin D levels (<20 ng/ml) are involved in the development of diabetic foot ulcers and insulin metabolism, causing alterations in the processes of tissue repair, among the complications found are high rates of amputation and diabetic nephropathy. The measurement of serum vitamin D levels are important in patients with Diabetes Mellitus II, as a result, they are prognostic factors for the healing of diabetic foot ulcers.
