Resumen:

Aims: Explore potential of 31 tear biomarkers involved in screening for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Assess the utility of aesthesiometry for measuring corneal damage in DPN and determine optimal cutoff point for detecting DPN. Methods: Screening test pilot study recruited 90 participants from a tertiary hospital in Lima, Peru. Participants were grouped by diabetes and neuropathy status. Tears collected on Schirmer strips, and proteins measured by both ELISA and multiplex-bead assay. Corneal sensitivity was measured by aesthesiometry, and DPN by vibration perception threshold testing. Results: There were 89 participants included in the analysis. The mean age was 55.7 ± 1.46, and 58.4% were female. MMP-9 and TGF-alpha concentrations were higher in participants with DPN versus diabetes alone, though not significant. Aesthesiometry was decreased in individuals with DPN when compared to participants with diabetes alone (p
