Immune-mediated neuropathies induced by immunosuppressive treatment.
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an immunemediated neuropathy and the efficacy of immunosuppressive or immunomodulating treatments with corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin and plasma exchange has been established. 2 For patients refractory to these conventional therapies, other immunosuppressants such as cyclophosphamide, ciclosporin rituximab and tumour necro...
متن کامل[Diagnosis and management of immune-mediated neuropathies].
Immune-mediate neuropathies, or inflammatory neuropathies are neuropathies due to the dysregulation of the immune system. The injury to peripheral nerves can be divided into two phases: an early stage of immune injury, and a later stage of structural damage. The overall effects are axonal degeneration or demyelination depending on the target of immunological attacks. According to time course, t...
متن کاملPathophysiology of immune-mediated demyelinating neuropathies-part I: neuroscience.
This first article of this review deals with neuroscientific aspects of immune-mediated demyelinating neuropathies. It describes the anatomy and physiology of normal myelinated axons, methods of studying peripheral nerve physiology, pathophysiological consequences of demyelination or damage at the node of Ranvier, and the mechanisms that may lead to impaired axonal membrane dysfunction or axona...
متن کاملAutonomic Involvement in Subacute and Chronic Immune-Mediated Neuropathies
Autonomic function can be impaired in many disorders in which sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric arms of the autonomic nervous system are affected. Signs and symptoms of autonomic involvement are related to impairment of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urogenital, thermoregulatory, sudomotor, and pupillomotor autonomic functions. Availability of noninvasive, sensitive, and reproducible...
متن کاملRole of Fcγ Receptor Mediated Inflammation in Immune Neuropathies
Peripheral neuropathies are among the most common diseases encountered in clinical neurology. Autoimmunity and inflammation are implicated in a small but important group of peripheral nerve disorders because they are potentially treatable. These include the acute inflammatory neuropathies grouped under Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and the chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropat...
