Alcoholic Neuropathy Diagnosis 

Since symptoms of alcoholic neuropathy can vary greatly, diagnosis may take time. It usually involves a combination of the following:

Medical history: Your healthcare provider will collect data involving past medical history and all current symptoms.

Physical exam: This exam aims to uncover other medical conditions contributing to symptoms, like diabetes or high blood pressure.

Neurological exam: This is a noninvasive exam to determine the location and extent of neurological damage. Your healthcare provider may ask you to complete a series of small movements and ask several questions to check neurological function.

Blood and urine tests: These tests can detect diabetes, liver and kidney problems, infections, vitamin deficiencies, and other conditions that may cause neuropathic conditions.
