Evaluation of proxy tests for SFSN: evidence for mixed small and large fiber dysfunction.
BACKGROUND: Though intra-epidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) is considered the gold standard for diagnosis of small fiber sensory neuropathy (SFSN), we aimed to determine if novel threshold values derived from standard tests of small or large fiber function could serve as diagnostic alternatives....
