Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), while rare and heterogeneous, is one of the most common immune mediated neuropathies. CIDP, however, especially CIDP variants, can be difficult to diagnose. (1) There is no gold standard testing for CIDP, and, while a few specific disease-associated antibodies have been described, these are absent in the majority of patients. Furthermore, many experts consider the presence of these antibodies to be indicative of a separate disease. (2) Ultimately, CIDP remains a diagnosis of exclusion. Mimics are ruled out either by history or additional ancillary testing. Following experts’ guidelines on the diagnosis of CIDP increases significantly the accuracy of diagnosis. On a different note, while most patients with CIDP respond well to treatment, some may not tolerate therapy, and other may be refractory to first line treatments. In this review, we discuss 5 new things related to CIDP: 1) the updated European Academy of Neurology/Peripheral Nerve Society (EAN/PNS) CIDP guidelines, 2) the expansion of the Chronic Immune Sensory Polyradiculopathy (CISP) spectrum, 3) updates in therapy for CIDP, 4) antibodies testing, serum neurofilament light chain and their role, and 5) disorders that can mimic CIDP.
