Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
CIDP, or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, is a disease in which the immune system progressively affects the covering that surrounds the peripheral nerves. That damage disrupts the transmission of nerve signals to the muscles and sensation.
Common symptoms:
- Weakness that gradually progresses in the arms and legs
- Tingling or numbness
- Difficulty walking or performing fine movements
When to seek care? It is advisable to consult when the weakness or changes in sensation persist and increase over time.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist studies nerve diseases, supported by the neurophysiologist in evaluating how they function, while the internist assesses the overall picture; in children the pediatric neurologist is involved. In the presence of progressive weakness, a professional evaluation makes it possible to guide the diagnosis.
