Learn About Familial Mixed Cryoglobulinemia

What is the definition of Familial Mixed Cryoglobulinemia?
Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis occurs when the body makes a mix of abnormal immune system proteins called cryoglobulins. At temperatures less than 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (normal body temperature), cryoglobulins become solid or gel-like and can block blood vessels. This causes a variety of health problems. Many people with cryoglobulins will not experience any symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include purplish discolored skin (purpura), weakness, joint pain, liver disease, and kidney problems. The underlying cause is unknown. Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis is typically associated with a chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. It is diagnosed based on the results of a clinical exam and the presence of cryoglobulins in the blood.
