A Comparative Study Of Sural Nerve Conduction Velocity In Prediabetes And Diabetes
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
Diabetes is a global burden and diabetic neuropathy is a very common complication. The incidence of prediabetes is becoming higher and the risk of developing complications is more. Diabetic neuropathy is a troublesome complication of diabetes mellitus. Prediabetes is increasingly being viewed as an important contributor to neuropathy. Neuropathy can be assessed by nerve conduction studies .It can be detected by studying the nerve conduction velocity. This study aims to assess the nerve conduction velocity of sural nerve. Nerve conduction velocity of sural nerve for diabetic and prediabetic were decreased when compared with non diabetic . Nerve conduction velocity is an important parameter to diagnose neuropathy. Prediabetes may even contribute to cause early neuropathy.
