Summary:Most peripheral neuropathies result from systemic disease. In this review, the authors highlight the main clinical features, electrographic abnormalities, histopathological aspects and treatment, as well as the current, but still incomplete understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved. The peripheral neuropathic manifestations of renal failure, gastrointestinal illness, bariatric surgery, thyroid dysfunction, connective tissue disease, certain viral and bacterial infections, and critical illness are emphasized.
