Summary
In this episode of Diabetics with Files, Dr. G explains liquid biopsies — blood tests that detect cell-free DNA and other molecular signals — and how they work.We explore how this technology could help detect infection early, identify harmful inflammation, predict a wound’s healing potential, and personalize treatment for diabetic foot ulcers.The episode also covers current limitations — cost, access, standardization, and need for clinical validation — and explains that liquid biopsies would complement, not replace, clinical exams and imaging.Ultimately, liquid biopsies could shift wound care from reactive to predictive and improve limb salvage in the future.
