The finding in nerve conduction study to suggest axonal neuropathy among the following is:

A
Slow conduction velocities
B
Prolonged distal latency
C
Relatively preserved amplitude
D
Late potentials
High-Yield Explanation
To classify neuropathy into axonal degeneration or segmental demyelination the most helpful test is: NCS-Nerve conduction study. MUST KNOW: Findings to suggest axonal neuropathy in NCS: Relatively preserved distal latencies, conduction velocities, and late potentials. Fibrillations on needle EMG Findings to suggest demyelination in NCS: Slow conduction velocities, Prolonged distal latencies Late potentials Relatively preserved amplitudes Absence of fibrillations on needle EMG Ref: Harrison, Edition-18, Page- 3448
