When Is It Not Diabetic Neuropathy? Atypical Peripheral Neuropathies, Neurologic Mimics, and Laboratory Work-up
Clin Geriatr Med.
2021 May.
Abstract
Peripheral neuropathies have many nonspecific features that are shared by various neurologic disorders. These disorders include atypical peripheral neuropathies along with neurologic disorders outside of the peripheral nervous system. An understanding of clinical fundamentals and a measured approach to laboratory work-up can assist the provider in achieving diagnostic confidence.
