Diagnostic utility of corneal confocal microscopy and intra-epidermal nerve fibre density in diabetic neuropathy
OBJECTIVES Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) is a rapid, non-invasive, reproducible technique that quantifies small nerve fibres. We have compared the diagnostic capability of CCM against a range of established measures of nerve damage in patients with diabetic neuropathy. METHODS In this cross sectional study, thirty subjects with Type 1 diabetes without neuropathy (T1DM), thirty one T1DM su...
متن کاملCorneal nerve tortuosity in diabetic patients with neuropathy.
PURPOSE Corneal confocal microscopy is a reiterative, rapid, noninvasive in vivo clinical examination technique capable of imaging corneal nerve fibers. Nerve fiber tortuosity may indicate a degenerative and attempted regenerative response of nerve fibers to diabetes. The purpose of this study was to define alterations in the tortuosity of corneal nerve fibers in relation to age, duration of di...
متن کاملDiabetic Central Neuropathy: CNS Damage Related to Hyperglycemia.
Diabetes is a syndrome defined by higher than normal blood glucose levels. Those higher blood glucose levels are associated with the development of physical abnormalities termed complications. Those abnormalities are found in small blood vessels and cause pathology termed retinopathy and nephropathy. Small-vessel abnormalities are part of cardiovascular and peripheral nerve pathology as well. L...
متن کاملExercise increases cutaneous nerve density in diabetic patients without neuropathy
Early diabetic neuropathy is characterized by loss of unmyelinated axons, resulting in pain, numbness, and progressive decline in intraepidermal nerve fiber density. Patients with type 2 diabetes, without neuropathy, were assigned to quarterly lifestyle counseling (N = 40) or structured, supervised weekly exercise (N = 60) for 1 year. Distal leg IENFD significantly increased in the exercise coh...
متن کاملNonsensory effects of reduced corneal nerve density in congenital glaucoma.
Mahelkova et al. recently published an interesting study evaluating the corneal structures in buphthalmic eyes and healthy eyes in patients with unilateral congenital glaucoma by using confocal microscopy. The authors reported statistically significant increase of the basal epithelial cell density and significant reduction of the endothelial cell density in the buphthalmic eyes, whereas the dif...
