Abstract
We report a case of a 47-year-old man with venous leg ulcers coexisting with liver cirrhosis and diabetes. The patient had received standard wound care for 12 weeks, but the leg ulcers were still worsening. Oral administration of fish compound peptides was used to reduce local protein catabolism and promote granulation tissue formation. The healthy granulation tissue was observed in the second week of nutritional intervention. The ulcers were constricted at the end of the third week. After eight weeks, the ulcers were completely healed. The case study demonstrated the positive impact of nutritional intervention with fish compound peptides in venous leg ulcers healing.
