Autonomic Neuropathy :
Autonomic neuropathy is a condition in which there is nerve damage, which can cause further damage to autonomic body functions. It can affect the temperature control, bladder function, blood pressure, digestion, and sexual function. The autonomic neuropathy will be caused due to many reasons, such as abnormal build-up of proteins in organs affecting the nervous system, autoimmune diseases like celiac disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren syndrome, diabetes, HIV, Guillain-Barre syndrome, inherited disorders, and certain medications. The symptoms that will be observed in the case of autonomic neuropathy will be urinary problems, fainting, indigestion, dizziness, exercise intolerance, sweating problems, sexual problems, inability to recognise lowered blood sugar levels, and slower reaction of the pupil to light from dark. The diagnosis of autonomic neuropathy will be made through autonomic function tests, tilt-table test, gastrointestinal tests, thermoregulatory sweat test, quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test, ultrasound, and urinalysis. The treatment for autonomic neuropathy will involve treating the underlying cause of the disease through medications.
