Default Skin Biopsy Results?

Back in Oct of 2015 I had a punch biopsy by Therapath Labs. Below are the results confirming SFN. My Neuro doctor never explained the Microscopic section. Does anyone know what that section implies?

Thanks,
Cliffman

MICROSCOPIC DESCRIPTION:
A. From the sections that have been examined, there is no evidence of vasculitis or other histological
abnormalities based on the H&E stain. No amyloid is detected by the Congo Red stain. Both of these
disorders are focal and this analysis does not exclude the diagnosis.

EPIDERMAL NERVE FIBER DENSITY TEST:
Specimen Result Value ABNORMAL LOW NORMAL
A. Lt Thigh 5.91 < 6.2 6.2 - 6.8
B. Lt Calf 2.81 < 3.2 3.2 - 4.3
