Diabetic neuropathy--clinical and electrophysiological study in synalbumin positive and synalbumin negative subjects.

Abstract

Clinical examination and nerve conduction in the median and lateral popliteal nerves were carried out in nine synalbumin positive and ten synalbumin negative subjects. There was no evidence of any abnormal neurological signs in either group and the results of the nerve conduction in the two groups showed no significant difference. — The role of an underlying hereditary error is discussed with respect to the aetiology of diabetic neuropathy.
