Overview
Physical Examination
- Physical examination of patients with cryoglobulinemia is usually remarkable for: purpura, arthralgia, and acrocyanosis.
Appearance of the Patient
- Patients with cryoglobulinemia usually appear normal. Clinical manifestations that appear vary according to the type of cryoglobulinemia. The various signs that appear are most commonly due to underlying hyperviscosity and thrombosis.
Vital Signs
Vital signs in patients with cryoglobulinemia are normal.
Skin
- Raynauds phenomenon
- Livedo reticularis
- Palpable purpura
- Digital ischemia
- Acrocyanosis
