This document summarizes peripheral neuropathy, which can be acute or chronic and affect single or multiple nerves. Acute neuropathies are medical emergencies, while neuropathy due to diabetes or alcohol can be diagnosed in primary care. Neurophysiological tests distinguish nerve damage types. Demyelinating neuropathies are often inflammatory and treatable, while axonal neuropathies have multiple causes. Management includes foot care and pain treatment. Mononeuropathy involves a single nerve from trauma or compression. Mononeuropathy multiplex refers to involvement of multiple noncontiguous nerves from vasculitis. Neuropathy symptoms like loss of foot sensation can lead to foot problems and amputation if untreated.
