Overview
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy according to the common causes of it, include:
Tests for diagnosis the endocrine and metabolic Diseases which may cause peripheral neuropathy include:[1][2] Blood glucose, HbA1c Thyroid function tests BUN [[Creatinine]} serum calcium, K, Na,CL
Tests for diagnosis the Nutritional Diseases and vitamin deficiencies which may cause peripheral neuropathy include:[3][4][5]
- CBC; serum B12
- Plasma B6
- Plasma B6
- Blood B1
- Serum vitamin E
- Serum folate
Tests for diagnosis the heavy Metal toxicities which may cause peripheral neuropathy include:[6]
- Lead
- Arsenic
- Mercury
- 24-hour urine heavy metals panel
Tests for diagnosis the diseases which produce autoantibodies against peripheral nerves such as Guillain-Barré syndrome and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and eaton lambert disease:[7][8]
- Calcium channel autoantibodies to rule out eaton lambert disease
- Anti acidic glycosphingolipids sialosyl paragloboside antibodies
- Anti sialosyl lactosaminyl paragloboside antibodies
- Anti sulfated glucuronyl paragloboside antibodies
Rheumatologic, Autoimmune, and Vasculitic Disease:[9]
- ANA, dsDNA antibodies
- Cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody, rheumatoid factor
- Anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody
- Myeloperoxidase antibody
- Cryoglobulins
- Hepatitis B and C serology
- Parvovirus serology
- HIV-1 serology
- Proteinase 3 antibody
- Mitochondrial antibody
- SS-A/Ro antibody, SS-B/La antibody
- Thyroid peroxidase antibody
- Kappa/lambda light chains and free with ratio in serum
Tests for diagnosis the other common causes of peripheral neuropathy include:
- Nerve biopsies[10]
- Liver function tests[11]
- Renal function tests[12]
- AIP (a urine porphobilinogen)[13]
- Serum drugs level[14][15]
- Bone marrow biopsy[16]
