Peripheral Neuropathy Diagnosis
How is peripheral neuropathy diagnosed?
To diagnose peripheral neuropathy, your doctor will ask you about:
- Your symptoms.
- Your medical history. This may include your use of alcohol, risk of HIV infection, or exposure to toxic substances.
- Your family's medical history, including nerve disease.
Your doctor may test how well you can feel touch, temperature, and pain.
You may also have blood tests. These tests will help the doctor find out if you have conditions that can cause neuropathy. Examples are diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, thyroid disease, and kidney problems.
