Alcohol-Related Peripheral Neuropathy: Nutritional,Toxic, or Both?
Description
The etiology of ALN has been debated for nearly a century. ALN is rarely discussed as a specific disease entity in textbooks because it is widely assumed to primarily reflect consequences of nutritional deficiency, specifically thiamine. Recent clinical trials have failed to show reversal of the disease with thiamine treatment.
