Typical CIDP
	Signs	Symptoms
	Absent or reduced tendon reflexes in all limbs	Gradual or recurring, similar weakening of muscles in both the upper and lower limbs, affecting the closer and farther parts of the limbs, accompanied by sensory issues in at least two limbs
Atypical CIDP
Variant	Signs	Symptoms
DADS	Normal or low DTR in proximal areas	Distal sensory loss and muscle weakness, predominantly in the lower limbs
Multifocal CIDP	Tendon reflexes may be normal in unaffected limbs	Loss of sensation and muscle weakness occur in multiple areas, often with uneven distribution, typically showing a preference for the upper limbs and affecting more than one limb
Focal CIDP	Low DTR	Loss of sensation and muscle weakness restricted to a single limb
Motor CIDP	Low DTR	Symptoms related to movement and physical indications without any associated sensory issues
Sensory CIDP	Absent or low DTR inall limbs	Sensory indications and signs present without any associated involvement of movement or motor functions
