Abstract EN
Background : Two groups of diabetic patients ((the first include 20 patients complaining from diabetes mellitus alone, and the second include patients that complain from both hypertension and diabetes mellitus)) were included in this study.
These patients were chosen((from a large number of patients, with a proved diagnosis, that are referred to the neurophysiology unit from the department of medicine)) to be of the same age group and gender, so that any of these two factors can no longer be a source of any possible error in the results.
Patients & methods : The electrophysiological tests that were done to all of our patients include : sensory latency and sensory amplitude for the ulnar and sural nerves, also the distal motor latency, motor conduction velocity and motor amplitude for both ulnar and common peroneal nerves.
Results : The results show that the second patient group is affected more by the peripheral neuropathy and their neuropathy was widely spread and its underlying cause is the worse.
Conclusions : results indicate that hypertensive disease increase the deterioration of the peripheral nerve function in diabetic patients.
