Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune nodopathy 2023
Autoimmune nodopathy is a group of immune-mediated peripheral neuropathy,and antibodies to Ranvier nodal regions can be detected in serum.With the deepening of research,the understanding of autoimmune nodopathy has been relatively clear in recent years,and it is generally believed that it should be separated from chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.In order to improve the understanding of neurologists in China and standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment of the disease,the Peripheral Neuropathy Collaboration Group of Chinese Society of Neurology organized repeated discussions among domestic experts in this field,combined with the research progress at home and abroad and the experience of domestic experts,formulated a consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune nodopathy,which includes the clinical features,neuroelectrophysiology,cerebrospinal fluid,peripheral nerve imaging,sural neuropathological characteristics,antibody detection,diagnostic criteria and treatment points of autoimmune nodopathy.
