  • Title: Autonomic neuropathy, II: Specific peripheral neuropathies.
    Author: McDougall AJ, McLeod JG.
    Journal: J Neurol Sci; 1996 Jun; 138(1-2):1-13. PubMed ID: 8791232.
    Abstract:
    Autonomic dysfunction is a common complication of peripheral neuropathies. It is often of little clinical importance, but some conditions may cause profound disturbance of autonomic function. These conditions include acute dysautonomia, diabetes, primary and familial amyloidosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, porphyria, and some inherited neuropathies. A wide range of neuropathies are associated with lesser degrees of autonomic dysfunction. These include hereditary neuropathies, and neuropathies associated with metabolic disturbances, alcohol abuse, malignancy, medications, infections, and connective tissue disorders.
