Abnormal Osmolality Gap Exists in Distal Symmetric Polyneuropathy.

In conclusion, serum osmolality gap would be elevated or decreased in the acute phase of distal symmetric polyneuropathy. Osmotic imbalance between the serum and nerve cells, based on abnormal excess or deficit of some unidentified serum osmolytes, may be one of the mechanisms in symmetric polyneuropathy with unknown causes.
