Brief Summary

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) are characterized by progressive deterioration in muscle strength, loss of sensibility, diminished or absent reflexes and impaired fine motor control. Often it is caused by demyelination which is suitable for treatment but damage to the axons may also occur especially in case of insufficient treatment. CIDP and MMN are immune mediated neuropathies in which first choice of treatment is intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), although the mechanisms underlying the effect of the IVIG is not yet clarified. The patients are diagnosed by electrophysiological examination and elevated level of protein in the cerebrospinal fluid. The diagnosis may be difficult to make due to great clinical variation and insensitive examinations methods including lack of biomarkers. The purpose of this study is to define if patients treated with SCIG and IVIG for CIDP and MMN have higher concentrations of sCD163 and CD19 in their cerebrospinal fluid and serum compared with symptomatic control subjects and is related to disease severity. Furthermore it is to define if patients newly diagnosed with CIDP or MMN have higher levels of sCD163 and CD19, than patients treated regularly with SCIG and IVIG.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Concentrations of sCD-163 and CD19 in patients with CIDP and MMN.

    Day 1

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Concentration of sCD163 and CD19 in newly diagnosed compared with established CIDP and MMN

    Day 1

Study Arms (4)

CIDP/MMN newly diagnosed (drug naive)

Patients, who are suspected to suffer from CIDP or MMN, will undergo a lumbar puncture as a part of the diagnostic procedure. We expect to include 5-10 patients. Lumbar puncture Blood sample

Procedure: Lumbar punctureProcedure: Blood sample

CIDP/MMN treated

All patients with established CIDP in maintenance treatment with SCIG or IVIG are recruited from local registries at the outpatient clinic at Department of Neurology, Aarhus University Hospital. We expect that 10-15 patients with CIDP and MMN treated with SCIG or IVIG eligible for inclusion. Furthermore, we expect to include 10 CIDP and MMN patients in maintenance therapy from the outpatient clinics at Department of Neurology, Odense University Hospital and Department of Neurology, Aalborg University Hospital.

Procedure: Lumbar punctureProcedure: Blood sample

Other peripheral neuropathies

Patients who are diagnosed with other causes of peripheral neuropathies than CIDP. We expect to include 20 patients

Procedure: Lumbar punctureProcedure: Blood sample

Syptomatic controls

Controls include patients with unspecified neurological symptoms or diseases who will undergo a lumbar puncture at the Department of Neurology at Aarhus University Hospital as part of their diagnostic work up irrespective of this study plus healthy controls. We expected to include 40-50 symptomatic controls

Procedure: Lumbar punctureProcedure: Blood sample
