Polyneuropathy affects several nerves in different parts of the body at the same time. In cases of mononeuropathy, just one nerve is affected. It may also affect the autonomic nerves responsible ...

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) affects the peripheral nerves. Tests to diagnose this condition include nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and sometimes an MRI.

However, as part of the diagnosis, they’ll also likely run several tests to rule out other possible causes and verify nerve involvement. CIDP can be challenging to diagnose. Its presenting ...

Findings of predominant demyelination on the nerve biopsy can be used in conjunction with the other studies and the clinical presentation to suggest a diagnosis of CIDP. Once the diagnosis is secured, ...

A rabbit sensitized with myelin lipid galactocerebroside develops autoimmune demyelinating polyneuropathy. The nerve conduction study was performed prior to sensitization (a) and at the peak of ...

Given CIDP's heterogeneity, a set of biomarkers that describe nerve integrity and function, drug effects, and the activity of ...
