Do the amplitude ratios of sensory nerve action potentials in the lower extremities have any diagnostic utility in distal diabetic polyneuropathy?
Distal nerve conduction studies (NCSs) are most useful in diagnosing mild diabetic polyneuropathy. Although DSSAR and SMFAR can be moderately sensitive alternatives, particularly when used in combined scores, these ratios do not add any diagnostic value in patients with axonal polyneuropathies of similar severity.
