Overview
Differentiating Cryoglobulinemia from other Diseases
Cryoglobulins may be present in mycoplasma pneumonia, multiple myeloma, certain leukemias, primary macroglobulinemia, and some autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. This is also found occasionally as a symptom in 35% of chronic hepatitis C infections.[1]
