Laboratory evaluation of peripheral neuropathy
Semin Neurol.
2010 Sep.
Abstract
Laboratory testing to help determine the cause of a peripheral neuropathy can be challenging. A rational approach, as opposed to a shotgun approach, is advocated for efficiency and expense. The author reviews a spectrum of tests and provides a basis for when to order and not to order.
