Overview
Monitoring the patient's response after thiamine administration is the most cost-effective diagnostic study.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of Choice
Thiamine replacement test: To administer thiamine to the patient and monitor his response. This test is easy, safe (as thiamine is not toxic in high doses), and saves time, efforts, and cost into the patient's treatment.[1]
Diagnostic results
The following finding on performing thiamine replacement test is confirmatory for beriberi:
- Clinical improvement of the patient's symptoms and cardiac function.
Name of Diagnostic Criteria
Beriberi is primarily diagnosed based on clinical presentation. There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of beriberi.
