Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP)

Chronic Inflammatory demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an uncommon autoimmune disorder.

 

Chronic Inflammatory demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy is the condition where your body starts to destroy your own nerve cells. The body attacks the myelin sheaths in CIDP which are the fatty coatings that envelop the nerve-protecting fibers.

 

Chronic Inflammatory demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy is seen as a chronic, or long-term, condition, whereas GBS is typically more of an acute illness.
