Nerve Bundle Density

Meaning

Nerve Bundle Density is a precise quantitative metric representing the concentration or number of small nerve fibers aggregated into bundles within a specific area of tissue, often assessed in a skin biopsy or through advanced imaging. This measure serves as a crucial histological marker for the health and integrity of the peripheral nervous system, particularly the small, unmyelinated fibers. A decline in this density is a definitive sign of nerve damage or neuropathy.
