Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy Canada CIDP CIDP Canada
What is Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy?
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy Canada (CIDP) is a neurological anarchy that causes progressive weakness and defective sensory activity in the legs and arms.
Symptoms often combine creeping or paralysis (first in the toes and fingers), weakness of the arms and legs, loss of deep ligament reflexes, fatigue, and abnormal sensations.
CIDP in Canada occurs although the body's immune system attacks the myelin sheaths around nerve cells, but exactly what creeping this is not clear.
CIDP is firmly related to Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and is treated the "chronic counterpart" of GBS.
What causes Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy in Canada?
CIDP in Canada occurs although the body's immune system attacks the myelin sheaths around nerve cells, but exactly what creeping this is not clear.
Unlike Guillain-Barre syndrome, there is generally no infection previous CIDP.
There does not seem to be a genetic link to Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy in Canada.
What are the symptoms of CIDP?
Regardless of the type of CIDP in Canada you may have, symptoms are usually the same, and can include:
- Creeping into your arms and legs
- A continuous weakening of your arms and legs
- Loss of reflexes
- Loss of balance and your ability to walk
Signs and symptoms
CIDP Canada (Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy) consistently starts personally and evolves slowly, in either a slowly progressive or a relapsing manner, with partial or complete recovery between frequency; periods of worsening and improvement usually last weeks or months. Most experts consider the necessary duration of manifestation to be greater than 8 weeks for the diagnosis of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy Canada (CIDP) to be made.
Symptoms reported include the following:
- Preceding infection (infrequent)
- Initial limb weakness, both proximal and distal
- Sensory symptoms (eg, tingling and numbness of hands and feet)
- Motor symptoms (usually predominant)
- In about 16% of patients, a relatively acute or subacute onset of symptoms
- In children, usually a more precipitous onset of symptoms
- A manifestation of autonomous system dysfunction (eg, orthostatic dizziness)
Applicable physical findings are limited to the nervous system, except when the condition is associated with other diseases. Such findings may include the following.
1. Signs of cranial nerve (CN) involvement (eg, facial muscle paralysis or diplopia)
2. Gait abnormalities
3. Motor deficits (eg, symmetric weakness of both proximal and distal muscles in upper and lower extremities)
3. Diminished or absent deep tendon reflexes
4. Sensory deficits (typically in stocking-glove distribution)
5. Impaired coordination
