Abstract
ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus has severe complication like retinopathy, neuropathy nephropathy. Sympathetic neuropathy is chronic diabetic complication which silently leads to morbidity & mortality. As there are numerous range of autonomic function tests we need to be focused & specific for what we are looking for. Sympathetic neuropathy which creates great load of morbidity needs to be evaluated & treated specifically. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate sympathetic nervous system in diabetic patients and look for effect of duration of disease on sympathetic neuropathy. METHOD: The present study was carried out on the 500 study subjects divided into three case groups (according to duration of disease i.0-5 year ii.5-10 year iii. >10 year) & one non diabetic healthy control group. They were assessed for sympathetic neuropathy by Ewing’s battery test. RESULTS: The diabetic group shows more deranged sympathetic function tests than control group. The sympathetic function tests diversified to abnormality as the duration of disease increases. The sympathetic neuropathy is most prevalent in study group having disease for than 10 years. CONCLUSION: Sympathetic neuropathy is prevalent & progressive with duration of diabetes.
