Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuritis (HCC)

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a slowly developing autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the myelin that insulates and protects the body’s nerves. The exact cause isn't known.

Common symptoms are gradual weakness or sensation changes in the arms or legs. This might get worse over time, or it might come and go.

Early treatment is important to limit disease progression. It includes medicines or other treatments to suppress the immune system.
