The reason is that some PNs are caused by disorders
Of the bone marrow and blood. These antibodies are peptides
that thicken the blood so it cannot circulate well and nerves
And other tissues suffer.

Some of these disorders are treatable and others not.
Treating then may reverse damage or at least prevent
progression of nerve damage.
