Risk Factors

Type I cryoglobulinemia is most often related to cancer of the blood or immune systems.

Types II and III are most often found in people who have a chronic (long-lasting) inflammatory condition, such as an autoimmune disease or hepatitis C. Most patients with mixed cryoglobulinemia have a chronic hepatitis C infection.

Other conditions that may be related to cryoglobulinemia include:

• Leukemia
• Multiple myeloma
• Mycoplasma pneumonia
• Primary macroglobulinemia
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Systemic lupus erythematosus
