In the pathogenesis of III-IV stage diabetic angiopathy, the important place belongs to oxygen deficiency and metabolic acidosis. Introduction into the complex of treatment of the patients of hyperbaric oxygenation and endolymphatic pharmacotherapy contributes to improvement of general state of the patients, alleviation of the course of destructive processes on the extremities, rapid normalization of oxygen exchange in the organism, liquidation of the phenomena of metabolic acidosis. This results in shortening of patients' stay in a hospital and permits to avoid, or postpone performance of amputation of an extremity.

In 24 patients with III degree diabetic angiopathy of the lower extremities, the changes in rheologic properties of the blood, its coagulative and anticoagulative system under the influence of hyperbaric oxygenation were studied. Hyperbaric oxygenation facilitates the rapid normalization of rheologic properties and general coagulative activity of the blood. Anticoagulative blood system is activated insufficiently, especially fibrinolysis, and that is why it is necessary to prescribe heparin to the patients, and at the necrotic stage, fibrinolysin as well.
