The word idiopathic is often misused. This word means ONLY that a cause of the neuropathy or other condition is unknown or more precisely: condition(s) without clear pathogenesis, or disease without recognizable cause. It has nothing to do with the results of tests. It simply means that the cause is unknown and often stated as 'etiology unknown'. Guess it's more a matter of medical grammar than anything else.
