Neurofilament light chain and nerve growth factor as biomarkers of axonal injury and neurotrophic dysfunction in diabetic neuropathy

Introduction and aim. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common complication of diabetes and is often diagnosed at an advanced stage when nerve damage becomes irreversible. Neurofilament light chain (NfL), a neuroaxonal injury marker, and nerve growth factor (NGF), a neurotrophin, are potential biomarkers...
