Abstract
Cryoglobulins are proteins, usually immunoglobulins, that precipitate when serum is cooled to temperatures less than body temperature and dissolve upo n rewarming. Clinical signs of monoclonal cryoglobulinemia are result of vascular obstru ction and tissue ischemia and include erythema, hemorrhage, and necrosis of the extremities. Monoclonal cryoglobulinemia is rare in cars and. when detected, should prom pt a search for underlying lymphoproliferactive or immune-mediated disease.
