Polyradiculoneuropathy, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating - Therapy
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Polyradiculoneuropathy, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating'A slowly progressive autoimmune demyelinating disease of peripheral nerves and nerve roots. Clinical manifestations include weakness and sensory loss in the extremities and enlargement of peripheral nerves. The course may be relapsing-remitting or demonstrate a step-wise progression. Protein is usually elevated in the spinal fluid and cranial nerves are typically spared. GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME features a relatively rapid progression of disease which distinguishes it from this condition. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1337) |

30 Jul 2009 
Immune-mediated neuropathies are treatable disorders that can result in considerable disability in some cases. Chronic immune-mediated neuropathies include chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, multifocal motor neuropathy and ... Read more...
Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for chronic acquired demyelinating neuropathy.
30 May 2009 Six patients with chronic acquired demyelinating neuropathy (CADP) were treated with autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). Two with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein, and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome ... Read more...
Current treatments of chronic immune-mediated demyelinating polyneuropathies.
29 Apr 2009 Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), and anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein (anti-MAG) neuropathy are three demyelinating acquired neuropathies, with distinct responses to ... Read more...
