Lymphedema
The authors describe in detail lymphedema as an edema owing to
an impaired lymph transport caused by interruption of lymphatic
routes, infection or congenital abnormity. Moreover, possible complications
of lymphedema, mainly development of secondary infections, are
mentioned. An early and correct diagnosis using lymphoscintigraphy,
ultrasound and CT examination is stressed both in primary and secondary
lymphedema. Systemic enzyme therapy using combined mixtures of
proteolytic enzymes (chymotrypsin, trypsin, bromelain, papain etc.)
represents an effective treatment modality in pharmacotherapy of
lymphedema. Enzyme therapy can improve already indurated and sclerotized
tissue even in fully developed lymphedema. Based on the results
of clinical trial in patients after breast cancer surgery it has
been suggested that beginning of enzyme treatment immediately after
surgery is an optimum therapeutic approach. |
