Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction Diabetic neuropathy DN is commonest forms of complications observed in type 2 diabetes patients Due to variations in clinical and electrophysiological diagnostic criteria for polyneuropathies prevalence of diabetic neuropathy varies in different studies We used only Electro diagnostic EDX criteria for diagnosis of neuropathies in present studyAim and Objectives To estimate prevalence of diabetic neuropathy viz mononeuropathy polyneuropathy and mononeuropathy with coexistent polyneuropathy in population of subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitusMaterials and Methods It was a cross sectional study where total 53 diabetic subjects 30 male 23 female in age range 3060 years were electrophysiologically evaluated for neuropathies during January 2013 to December 2015 Routine and specialized Nerve conduction studies were adopted for evaluation Data was acquired and stored in Microsoft excel and analyzed using graph pad prism softwareResults Overall prevalence of diabetic neuropathy DN was 5471 Prevalence of other forms viz Polyneuropathy only mononeuropathy only and mononeuropathy with coexistent polyneuropathy are 3018 1698 and 754 respectively Median neuropathy at wrist was the only form of mononeuropathy observed in these cases Severity of mononeuropathy was observed more in diabetes without polyneuropathy casesConclusion Prevalence of different forms of neuropathies observed in present study is similar to previous studies We observed more severe mononeuropathy in diabetes without polyneuropathy cases Palm wrist comparison study must be part EDX evaluation in these casesKeywords Diabetes mellitus Diabetic polyneuropathy Nerve conduction study
