demyelinating polyneuropathy
(CIDP) is an acquired heterogeneous
disorder affecting peripheral nerves
caused by a demyelinating process,
producing sensory loss and positive
sensory symptoms as well as motor
weakness.
CIDP is closely related to
GuillainBarr syndrome and it is
considered the chronic counterpart
of that acute disease. Its symptoms
are also similar to progressive
inflammatory neuropathy.
Its prevalence may be as high
as 9 per 100,000 population. It is
more common in men than in
women with a ratio of 2:1. The
diagnosis is the same with GBS.
CIDP could be diagnose
with the history. The signs and
symptoms experienced must
exceed up to 8 weeks for it to
be diagnosed CIDP.
The disorder is sometimes
called chronic relapsing
polyneuropathy (CRP) or chronic
inflammatory demyelinating
polyradiculoneuropathy (because
it involves the nerve roots).
