title: [Efficacy of TTFCA in reducing the ratio between lymphatic and plasma protein concentration in lymphatic and postphlebitic edema].
abstract: In subjects with lymphatic problems and postphlebitic edema there is a significant difference in the ratio between lymphatic and plasma concentration of protein (CL/CP) in the foot. Two groups of patients were studied (one group with lymphedema and the other with postphlebitic limbs) in order to assess the CL/CP ratio before and after TTCFA treatment (Centellase). The study confirmed the efficacy of treatment in achieving a significant reduction of CL/CP and distal edema.
