In patients with static ulcers and deep vein thrombosis, the H2O level may be higher in the 10-mm sampling depth, indicating that those patients had more subcutaneous water. In patients with non-deep vein thrombosis static foot ulcer, the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) indicated worse fluid retention in the dermis level. The H2O value in the NIRS may be different owing to underline the cause of the venous leg ulcers.
