What Causes Neuropathy?
Physical trauma, repetitive injury, infection, metabolic problems and exposure to toxins and some drugs can all lead to peripheral neuropathy.
Diabetes
Most cases of neuropathy are found in people who have the metabolic disorder diabetes,2 when it is known simply as diabetic neuropathy.
Diabetic neuropathy is a microvascular complication: excess blood glucose in people with diabetes can, over a number of years, injure the walls of tiny blood vessels supplying nerves, especially those in the legs.3 The consequence of the nerve damage can be an inability to feel pain, and so problems can go unnoticed by people with diabetes, for example because of "insensate" injury to their feet.4
In the US, diabetic neuropathy is the primary cause of diabetic foot problems and ulcers.5 Specific estimates vary, but overall about half of people with diabetes have diabetic neuropathy.6
Other conditions
While diabetes is the most common cause of neuropathy, other medical conditions can also lead to the problem:1
Chronic liver disease
Chronic kidney disease
HIV infection and AIDS
Long-term excessive alcohol intake
Vitamin B deficiency and other nutritional deficiency
Cancer - lymphoma or multiple myeloma
Lyme disease, a tick-borne bacterial infection
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a genetic cause of nerve damage, particularly in the lower limbs
Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare condition that damages peripheral nerves
Diphtheria, a common bacterial infection in developing countries such as Haiti and Vietnam, but rare in other parts of the world.
