• History of diabetes mellitus and alcohol excess (both common causes of neuropathy) do not preclude the possibility of coexisting pathology • Serum immunoelectrophoresis and immunofixation are, therefore, important investigations in the diagnostic workup[slideshare.net]

How can mitochondrial disorders be prevented? Since this is a genetically determined disorder, there is no prevention. Prevention of stressors that exacerbate the condition, such as illness, is advocated for all mitochondrial disease.[clinicaladvisor.com]
