Time for a standardized diagnostic response test in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy?
Brain and behavior(2023)
摘要
Standardized pharmacological response tests are important and established diagnostic tools in the field of neurology. However, regarding therapeutic responses to intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) in CIDP, neither a definition of therapeutic response has been established, nor a response test has been suggested so far. Here we suggest a practical clinical approach which is supported by current literature in the field. An established standardized IVIg response test could avoid prolonged therapy without benefit for the patient and ensure a timely therapy switch or treatment escalation if required. This approach would also be advantageous due to the global scarcity of plasma derivatives as a human resource and could be the foundation to be adjusted and improved by subsequent studies.
