Inflammatory demyelinating neuropathies and neuropathies associated with monoclonal gammopathies: treatment update.
Autor(es): Steck Andreas J.; Czaplinski Adam; Renaud Susanne
Resumo: This review focuses on recent data regarding inflammatory demyelinating neuropathies and neuropathies associated with monoclonal gammopathies. We describe both acute and chronic inflammatory neuropathies, and we discuss conditions ranging from mostly cell-mediated to antibody-mediated disorders. These diseases are characterized by proximal and distal sensory motor involvement. Treatments are based on immune-modulation and/or immune-suppression. Work-up sequence and therapeutical modes are discussed in the light of recently published data, with a special interest on new treatment modalities.
