FPN Webinar: CIDP, From Soup to Nuts, with Sami Khella, MD

Dr. Khella will discuss different ways a patient should manage the condition, from when a patient seeks diagnosis to possible treatment options. The program will also highlight how CIDP varies from other forms of neuropathies. There will be a Q & A with Dr. Khella following the presentation.
Dr. Khella has more than 20 years experience in diagnosing and treating patients with a variety of neurologic diseases, and is an attending neurologist at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. He co-founded the Penn Amyloidosis Center, one of the largest multidisciplinary programs in the United States treating patients with hereditary and acquired amyloidosis. They are a group that is active in clinical trials and cutting-edge therapies for this group of diseases. His other interests includes treating patients with acquired inflammatory neuropathies, such as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), and myopathies such as polymyositis and dermatomyositis.
Webinar held live on August 18, 2023, and was generously sponsored by CSL Behring.

Dr Khella, I thank you so very much for your time, your detailed explanations and your presence in the field. Your perspective and experience is extremely helpful and comforting to me as I've had extreme damage over the past three years and undiagnosed (and or believed) within my local medical community. I did have an extensive EMG by a Specialist and director of a lab at a large medical University and he recommended me to Stanford for further care.
You have calmed my concerned and curious mind and I sincerely thank you,
Tara

4 Neurologist dx me Cidp with spinal tap &,nerve conduction I met all criteria. After 2 years Hizentra subq regained my strength and new dx changed dx to sensory ganglionitis ( I disagree) he took me off Hizentra. Would agree with changimg dx because I regained strength with all other systems the same .
