Abstract Summary
New guidelines help doctors identify causes of small fiber neuropathy through systematic blood testing. First-line tests screen for metabolic issues like diabetes and vitamin deficiencies, plus immune conditions including autoimmune diseases and infections. A diagnostic algorithm streamlines the workup to find treatable causes of this increasingly recognized disorder affecting sensory and autonomic nerves.
