Zusammenfassung: | Introduction
The sural sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitude is a measure of the number of axons. We tested the hypothesis that sural SNAP amplitude can be used as a marker in screening, severity evaluation, and follow‐up of diabetic distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSPN).
Methods
Patients with type 2 diabetes underwent nerve conduction studies and were followed for 6 years. Composite amplitude scores (CASs) were determined to evaluate DSPN severity.
Results
Sural SNAP amplitudes were negatively correlated with CAS (r = −.790, P |
