DNP - Der Neurologe & Psychiater Aims and scope

Zusammenfassung

Der Begriff Polyneuropathie umfasst eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Erkrankungen und Erscheinungsformen. Diagnostik und ätiologische Zuordnung sind von enormer Bedeutung bei diesem Krankheitsbild mit hoher Prävalenz. Am Anfang stehen die Anamneseerhebung sowie die klinische Untersuchung. Zusatzuntersuchungen dienen dazu, eine weitere Einordnung des polyneuropathischen Syndroms vorzunehmen mit dem Ziel, eine Ursache zu finden.
