What is the medical workup for peripheral neuropathy? Every workup for peripheral neuropathy initially consists of a careful medical history and comprehensive physical examination. [scottsdaleneuropathyinstitute.com]

Typically, the condition is associated with (but not limited to) systemic disorders such as the following (see Causes, Presentation, Workup, and Treatment): Vasculitis [4, 5, 6, 7] Amyloidosis [8] Direct tumor involvement - Lymphoma, leukemia [9, 10] [emedicine.medscape.com]

Laboratory workup was normal and immunological tests were negative. [neurologyindia.com]

Investigations Blood workup revealed normocytic anemia, thrombocytosis and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (110 mm/h), C-reactive protein (CRP) (33 mg/L) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) (74 units/L). [bmcneurol.biomedcentral.com]

Prognosis The prognosis of patients with mononeuritis multiplex (MNM) depends on the underlying etiology. [online.epocrates.com]

These neuropathies were severe and relapsing, in contrast to a usually benign prognosis. [jrheum.org]

Outlook (Prognosis) A full recovery is possible if the cause is found and treated, especially if the nerve damage is limited. Some people have no type of disability. Others have a partial or complete loss of movement, function, or sensation. [ehr.wrshealth.com]

Assess for etiology A thorough history should be undertaken to assess for the cause of MNM. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Overall mortality in MNM is not known but is likely to depend on the underlying etiology. [online.epocrates.com]

When the etiology involves inflammation, the term mononeuritis multiplex is used. In most cases, the individual neuropathies are of named nerves (i.e., median, ulnar, peroneal, etc.) as opposed to small nerve twigs. [casemed.case.edu]

Diagnostic tests, usually beginning electrodiagnostic testing, are indicated in patients with atypical clinical features, unknown etiology, and/or severe or rapidly progressive symptoms. [amboss.com]
