Sural nerve sensory response in diabetic distal symmetrical polyneuropathy

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 Patien...

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
