Immune-Mediated Neuropathies: Top 10 Clinical Pearls
Funding This study was funded by Michael D. Rothman CIDP Research Fund.
Abstract
Immune-mediated neuropathies encompass a range of neurological disorders, including chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, Guillain–Barré syndrome, multifocal motor neuropathy, autoimmune autonomic neuropathies, and paranodal nodopathies. Recognizing clinical patterns is key to narrowing the broad range of differential diagnoses in immune-mediated neuropathies. Electrodiagnostic testing is a useful tool to support the diagnosis of immune-mediated neuropathies. Our understanding of autoimmune demyelinating neuropathies is rapidly advancing, particularly with the discovery of nodal and paranodal antibodies. Recent advances in neuropathy treatment include the utilization of neonatal Fc receptors to reduce antibody recycling, and the development of complement inhibitors to reduce inflammatory damage, offering promising new therapeutic avenues. Timely identification of immune-mediated neuropathies is imperative as delay in diagnosis and treatment may lead to irreversible disability.
