3. Medications like Chemo Drugs

5. Heart Surgery involving ECMO Procedures.
6. Viruses
7. Kidney Disease
8. Alcohol Abuse
9. Trauma or Pressure from compressed nerves.
10. Nutritional Deficiencies – in certain vitamins (like B1, B6, and B12) or minerals (like copper) can contribute to neuropathy.
11. Toxins, like heavy metals
    .
    Certain viruses (like herpes simplex, varicella-zoster, and Epstein-Barr) and bacteria (like Lyme disease) can directly attack nerve tissue. HIV infection is also a major cause, especially in advanced stages.
    Autoimmune Diseases:
    .
    Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Sjogren’s syndrome can cause the body’s immune system to attack its own nerves.
    Kidney Disease:
    .
    Chronic kidney failure can lead to nutritional deficiencies, including vitamin B1, that contribute to neuropathy.
    Alcohol Abuse:
    .
    Excessive alcohol consumption can be toxic to nerve tissue, causing alcoholic neuropathy.
    Medications:
    .
    Certain medications, especially those used for cancer treatment (chemotherapy), can cause neuropathy.
    Trauma or Pressure:
    .
    Nerve damage can result from physical injuries, prolonged pressure on nerves (like carpal tunnel syndrome), or even from ill-fitting casts or braces.
    Toxins:
    .
    Exposure to heavy metals (like lead and mercury) or certain chemicals (like solvents) can also cause nerve damage.
    Nutritional Deficiencies:
    .
    Deficiencies in certain vitamins (like B1, B6, and B12) or minerals (like copper) can contribute to neuropathy.
    Less Common Causes:
    Amyloidosis: A rare disease where abnormal protein deposits damage nerves.
    Hypothyroidism: An underactive thyroid can also lead to peripheral neuropathy.
    Hereditary Conditions: Some forms of neuropathy can be inherited.
