Sensory Neuron Analysis & Research Laboratory · Croatia
SNARE Lab is an independent research laboratory that performs the analysis. Partner clinics take the biopsy; we quantify the nerve fibres and report to the physician.
Intraepidermal nerve fibre density (IENFD) is the number of small nerve fibres crossing into the epidermis per millimetre of skin section, counted under a microscope in a skin biopsy stained for the nerve marker PGP9.5.
