Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy and Sudomotor Dysfunction in Saudi Patients with Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Using the Toronto Diabetic Neuropathy Expert Group-2010 classification of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), 89% of patients with newly diagnosed type2 diabetes had either confirmed or subclinical-DPN, hence at increased risk of foot complications. Sudomotor-dysfunction (SMD) assessed through electrochemical skin-conductance measurement was present in51.1%. SMD has 73% sensitivity and 81% NPV to detect confirmed-DPN.

Electrochemical skin conductance to detect sudomotor dysfunction, peripheral neuropathy and the risk of foot ulceration among Saudi patients with diabetes mellitus
BACKGROUND Sudomotor dysfunction is manifested clinically as abnormal sweating leading to dryness of feet skin and increased risk of foot ulceration. The aim of this study was to test the performance of foot electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) to detect diabetic peripheral neuropathy and the risk of foot ulceration against traditional methods in Saudi patients with diabetes mellitus. METHO...
