CIDP of a chronic condition with an uncertain prognosis with episodes of relapse, remissions and progression in some patients. EMG is not diagnostic of CIDP nor it can predict complete remission by itself. Detailed neurological examination along with test like EMG, MRI, Nervebiopsy, Bone marrow biopsy etc. may be required in certain circumstances.
Ask your doctor in which of the following four categories your patient fall so that you could get an idea about treatment duration.
