Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)
Diagnosis of CIDP
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis and electrodiagnostic tests Testing includes CSF analysis and electrodiagnostic tests. Results are similar to those in Guillain-Barré syndrome, including albuminocytologic dissociation (increased protein but normal white blood cell count) and demyelination, detected by electrodiagnostic testing. Nerve biopsy, which can also detect demyelination, is seldom needed.
