The yield of screening laboratory tests is 37% - 58%.
Conclusion:
“Screening laboratory tests are possibly useful in determining the cause . . .”
Tests with the highest yield of abnormality are: glucose, B12, SPEP/IEP.

Hereditary Clues
• “Always clumsy”, childhood onset
• Foot deformities (high arches/hammertoes), foot pain, gait difficulties, podiatrist consultations
• Examine accompanying family members

CMT 1a
When to Consider Genetic Testing $ $
AAN Practice Parameter
Useful for patients who exhibit a classic hereditary
neuropathy phenotype.
(+ Family History, Early onset, Demyelinating)
Insufficient evidence in cryptogenic PN without
hereditary phenotype.

Nerve Biopsy
Diagnosable disorders

Treatment
1. Treat the medical disorder (DM, nutritional
deficiency, etc.)
2. Remove offending agent (EtOH, medications, etc.)
3. If immune-mediated (CIDP, MMN, vasculitis): immune
modulating Rx (IVIg, prednisone, immunosuppressants)

Take Home Points
• Define anatomic distribution and fiber type involvement
• EMG to determine axonal vs demyelinating
