OBJECTIVE: Axon reflex-mediated neurogenic vasodilatation in response to cutaneous heating may reflect early, pre-clinical small fibre dysfunction. We aimed to evaluate the distribution of the vascular flare area measured by laser doppler imaging ("LDI(FLARE) area") in type 1 diabetes and in healthy volunteers.
RESEARCH AND METHODS: Concurrent with clinical and electrophysiological examination to classify diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSP), LDI(FLARE) area (cm(2)) was determined in 89 type 1 diabetes subjects matched to 64 healthy volunteers. We examined the association and diagnostic performance of LDI with clinical and subclinical measures of DSP and its severity.
RESULTS: Compared to the 64 healthy volunteers, the 56 diabetes controls without DSP had significantly lower LDI(FLARE) area (p = 0.006). The 33 diabetes cases with DSP had substantially lower LDI(FLARE) area as compared to controls without DSP (p = 0.002). There was considerable overlap in LDI(FLARE) area between all groups such that the ROC curve had an AUC of 0.72 and optimal sensitivity of 70% for the detection of clinical DSP. Use of a subclinical definition for DSP, according to subclinical sural nerve impairment, was associated with improved AUC of 0.75 and sensitivity of 79%. In multivariate analysis higher HbA1c and body mass index had independent associations with smaller LDI(FLARE) area.
CONCLUSIONS: Axon reflex-mediated neurogenic vasodilatation in response to cutaneous heating is a biomarker of early nerve dysfunction in DSP. Its independent association with glycemic exposure in diabetes subjects and both glycemic exposure and BMI in healthy volunteers highlights the existence of small-fibre dysfunction in the natural history of DSP.
