From my understanding it's quite easy to test for that (though I myself did not get that test done). I believe these are blood work tests. I had 21 blood tests done and I'm waiting on 1 result for a recent one. These were to eliminate other potential causes of PN. However, they are beneficial tests to get done, even if I were in good-health. Since I just turned 43 Yesterday, it's nice to know you don't have other ailments.
If the tests are easy to take like blood tests, you should do them, just to eliminate other causes. Most of the time, this process pleases your doctor more than you, since they often want to "rule out' other factors.
