G61: Inflammatory polyneuropathy
G61.1: Serum neuropathy
Nerves are a sort of wiring in the body. Nerves conduct information. The nerves use electrical impulses to do this. Nerves are important, for instance, in enabling you to sense contacts and temperatures, and to move your muscles.
You have a nerve disorder following medical treatment. Something like this can happen in the case of treatments where certain substances are administered via a blood vessel. This may be a blood transfusion or a treatment with certain drugs, for example. Exactly how the nerve disorder and the treatment are linked is not known.
When there is a nerve disorder, various symptoms may result. You may no longer be able to move your arms or legs properly, for example. The skin in some parts of the body may also feel numb, tingly or sore. There may also be other symptoms.
