Diabetic neuropathy DR DINESH.pptx
- 1. Diabetic neuropathy DR A.DINESH 1ST YEAR PG, GEN MED
- 2. PREVALENCE: ~50% (18.8 – 61.9%) of indiviuals with long standing T1DM , T2DM develops diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic Neuropathy accounts a major contributor of all neuropathies (~27%) OTHERS HIV/AIDS CHEMO
- 7. Pathogenesis Increased aldose reductase activity Nerve ischemia /hypoxia Auto oxidation of glucose Non Enzymatic Glycation End products (AGE) Activation of protein kinase C Oxidative stress Reduced serum levels of nerve growth factors
- 12. classification SYMMETRIC / ASYMMETRIC NEUROPATHY AUTONOMIC NEUROPATHY MONONEUROPATHY AND ENTRAPMENT SYNDROME RADICULOPATHY/ POLYRADICULOPATHY SUPER IMPOSED CIDP TREATMENT INDUCED DIABETIC NEUROPATHY
- 15. SYMMETRIC NEUROPATHY: SENSORY/SENSORIMOTOR/MOTOR DSPN – DISTAL SYMMETRIC POLYNEUROPATHY SMALL FIBER NEUROPATHY LARGE FIBER NEUROPATH Y MIXED SMALL AND LARGE FIBER NEUROPATHY MOST COMMON
- 16. DSPN Most common form of diabetic neuropathy A mixed neuropathy with small, large fiber, autonomic, motor involvement( late stage). In a patient with DM if there are clinical signs of autonomic abnormalities , DSPN is invariably present. Insidious, progressive DSPN as “the presence of symptoms and signs of peripheral nerve dysfunction in people with diabetes after exclusion of other causes”
- 18. Symptoms: As small fibers are predominantly involved early the symptoms are related to damage of small fibers. Pain- dull constant pain/ sharp shooting or stabbing pain Hyperalgesia Allodynia Loss of thermal sensation Loss of pain(later stages) these symptoms are the main presentation in prediabetic individuals.
- 19. Symptoms worsens at night Manifested in the feet more than the hands Paresthesia or episodes of distorted sensation such as pins and needles, tingling, coldness, numbness-feeling like walking in cotton, burning sensation -hot foot. often accompany the pain. as a whole these are called“POSITIVE SYMPTOMS” DSPN WITH LARGE FIBER NEUROPATHY – presents with insensate foot, Poor balancing, Distal weakness of toes& ankles in later stages are called ”NEAGATIVE SYMPTOMS”
- 20. SIGNS: Sensory: loss or imapairment of sensation of toes and feet. Vibration sense often the first to go. as the sensory loss extends proximally from a sock to stocking distribution the finger tips become involved Autonomic: dry skin , fissures, callouses Motor: absent ankle reflex (large fibers), wasting of toe muscles

- 25. OTHER AUTONOMIC NEUROPATHIC SYMPTOMS: ABNORMAL PUPILLARY FUNCTION- SMALL UNREACTIVE PUPIL HYPOGLYCMEIC UNAWARENESS SLEEP APNEA
- 26. MONO NEUROAPTHY CRANIAL NERVE INVOLVEMENT: Nerves of extra occular muscles are commonly affected. Occulomotor nerve palsy III: ( 42% microvascular causes) # Abrupt onset, # retro orbital pain, # ptosis, # ophthalmoplegia with sparing of pupilary fuction Muscles supplied by 3rd nr: SR, IR, MR, IO Other cranial nerves affected: 6, 7, 4(less common)
- 27. III NR PALSY:
- 28. MONO NEUROAPTHY Peripheral nerves – ulnar, median, radial, lateral popliteal nerve. Entrappment neuropathies are common. Carpel tunnel syndrome- median Nr Pathogenesis: swelling of synovial sheaths around carpal tunnel due to fluid accumulation, inflammation, injury, external compression increases intra tunnel pressure which damages myelin sheath,impairs axonal flow & blocks micro circulation of median nerve causes pain , tingling, numbness sensation Cubital tunnel syndrome- ulnar nerve at elbow common peroneal Nr: at head of fibula
- 29. Radiculopathy TRUNCAL RADICULOPATHY: Abrupt onset of pain pain over area of chest and abdomen which worsens at night. thoracic lumbar spinal nerve roots are commonly involved focal anterior abdominal wall weakness- pseudohernia
- 30. Lumbo sacral Radiculoplexopathy OTHER NAME: “BRUNS GARLAND SYNDROME” Diabetic amyotrophy, proximal motor neuropathy Male>female in T2 DM Pathogenesis : micro vasculitis leads to ischemeic nerve injury Severe pain in unilateral/bilateral thighs, lowerback Followed by lowerlimb muscle weakness often proximal & unilateral Knee jerk reduced or absent
- 31. SUPERIMPOSED CIDP A chronic condition >8 weeks A type of secondary CDIP Chronic hyperglycemic state impairs neuronal microcirculation leads to myelin damage. As a chronic insult spinal nerve roots release chemokines into CSF leads to increse TNF, IL production activates CD4 cells which targets myelin sheaths and destroys leads to nerve damage. Symptoms: presents with proximal muscle weakness and sensory involvement
- 32. HYPOGLYCEMIC NEUROPATHY It is treatment induced neuropathy where it probably due to microcirculation deficit in hyperglycemic period. As soon as the blood sugar levels was corrected microcirculation was not not restored as early because of endoneurial ischemia and the formation of axonal regeneration zonesupon attaining normoglycemic state producing ectopic depolarisations and pain starts 2-6 weeks after improvement of glycemic control
- 33. INVESTIGATIONS Blood glucose/ HbA1c Urine analysis for protein/glucose RFT/Electrolytes Vitamin B12 levels Serum protein Lipid profile CT/MRI brain (cranial nr palsy) CT Pelvis (motor neuropathy) NC study EMG study
- 34. Nerve conduction study It is a measure of how fast the nerve conduct the impulses Used in cases of paresthesia, weakness of arms or legs Procedure: 1.electrodes will be taped to skin along the nerves that are being studied
- 35. 2.Small stimulus is applied(electric current) that activate nerves 3.The electode will measure the current the current that travells down the nerve pathway If damaged? – the current will be slower/weaker Time of procedure- 30-90 min Complications- little discomfort from electric current, not painful Advantage: - non invasive, no anaesthesia needed - detect asymptomatic cases - monitering of progression/ remission of disease
- 36. INTERPRETATION: Speed of conduction depends on diameter of nerve and degree of myelination. In general , the range of normal conduction velocity will be approx 50-60 m/sec, however it vary from one nervr to another and and also individual variablility. Eg: Slow NCS Indicates damage to myelin Slowing across wrist jt for motor &sensory latancies of median nerve Indiacates compression of median nr – carpal tunnel synd Slowing of all nr conduction in >1limb Indicates polyneuropathy
