Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)

Overview & Mechanisms

CIDP is a rare type of autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the myelin sheaths of the peripheral nerves. This leads to progressive weakness and impaired sensory function in the legs and arms. Innovations in immunoglobulin therapy (IVIG) and plasma exchange have significantly improved care.
