The most common cause of gangrene today is diabetes. Long standing diabetes can has the ability to destroy small blood vessels in the feet and hands. When injuries such as cuts or ulcers occur in these areas, there many not be enough blood flow to heal the wounds.
Dry gangrene can result from conditions that reduce or block arterial blood flow such as diabetes, arteriosclerosis, and tobacco addiction as well as from trauma, frostbite, or injury. Wet gangrene can result from the same causes as dry gangrene but always includes infection. In some cases of wet gangrene, the initial cause is considered to be the infection. Treatment for all cases of gangrene usually involves surgery, medical treatment, supportive care, and occasionally, rehabilitation.
