diabetic polyneuropathy diabetic polyneuropathy, a disorder involving a number of nerves, a long-term complication of diabetes mellitus. Central nervous system, autonomic, and peripheral nerves may be affected. Neuropathic ulcers commonly develop on the feet. gradually progressing autoimmune muscle weakness in arms and legs caused by inflammation of the myelin sheath covering peripheral nerve axons.

- Polyneuropathies are generalised disorders of the peripheral nervous system. They affect individually or in combination the motor, sensory and vegetative nerves, the sheath-like structures of their connective tissue and the blood vessels, which supply them. Motor nerve fibres conduct instructions to the muscles. Sensory nerve fibres conduct sensations from the skin, neuromuscular spindles, tendons and joints to the spinal cord. Vegetative or autonomous nerve fibres innervate the internal organs, the blood vessels and the sweat glands in the skin.

Neuropathy (Nerve Damage) Neuropathy (Nerve Damage) Nerve damage from diabetes is called diabetic neuropathy (new-ROP-uh-thee). About half of all people with diabetes have some form of nerve damage. It is more common in those who have had the disease for a number of years and can lead to many kinds of problems. If you keep your blood glucose levels on target, you may help prevent or delay nerve damage.

Diabetic Neuropathy Practice Essentials. Diabetic neuropathy is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), affecting as many as 50% of patients with type 1 and type 2 DM. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy involves the presence of symptoms or signs of peripheral nerve dysfunction in people with diabetes after other possible causes have been excluded.

Alcoholic polyneuropathy Large studies have been conducted and show that alcoholic polyneuropathy severity and incidence correlates best with the total lifetime consumption of alcohol. Factors such as nutritional intake, age, or other medical conditions are correlate in lesser degrees. For unknown reasons, alcoholic polyneuropathy has a high incidence in women.

Polyneuropathy in dogs and cats Distal symmetric polyneuropathy symptoms include atrophy of the distal leg muscles and the muscles of the head, and rear limb weakness. No treatment is known and the prognosis is poor. This is most commonly seen in Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, St. Bernards, Great Danes, Newfoundlands, Collies, and Labrador Retrievers.

Idiopathic Polyneuropathy Idiopathic Polyneuropathy. Idiopathic sensory-motor polyneuropathy is an illness where sensory and motor nerves of the peripheral nervous system are affected and no obvious underlying etiology is found. In many respects, the symptoms are very similar to diabetic polyneuropathy.

Peripheral neuropathy has causes other than diabetes DEAR READER: Neuropathy is a medical term that means nerve damage. The type of nerve damage that people with diabetes get involves specific nerve fibers in all nerves, particularly the nerves that travel to the legs and feet. (There are other conditions in which a single nerve leading to the legs and feet is pinched, causing pain.

Types of Peripheral Neuropathy - Hereditary Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is a relatively common, though under-diagnosed, hereditary disorder in which a fairly mild pressure or trauma to a single nerve results in episodes or periods of numbness and weakness, similar to an arm or leg going to sleep.

Mononeuropathy Causes. Mononeuropathy is a type of damage to a nerve outside the brain and spinal cord (peripheral neuropathy). Mononeuropathy is most often caused by injury, although body-wide (systemic) disorders may cause isolated nerve damage. Long-term pressure on a nerve due to swelling or injury can result in mononeuropathy.
