Hereditory neuropathies usually present themselves in four different groups, it can be small fibre by itself or motor neuropathy alone, sensory and autonomic neuropathies, sensory & motor together, genetic testing would be helpfull..... But there are plenty of other reasons that are not hereditory that cause small fibre damage, like Diabetes mellitus, Alcoholic neuropathy, Prediabetes, Amyloidosis, AIDS, then then there is small fibre neuropathies with autonomic involvement , Amyloidosis, Porphyria, Paraneoplastic neuropathy, Lmyphoma Thallium, Guillain-Barré syndrome, arsenic, mercury toxicity, Thiamine deficiency, Vincristine (Oncovin, Vincosar PFS) toxicity etc, it all gets pretty complicated like length dependent or non length dependent small fibre neuropathy which makes a neuro [who knows his/her stuff] look at the known possible causes relying on the symptoms displayed, but sometimes even with the best neuro on your side an answer is not always found [ the dreaded idiopathic diagnoses] .
