Cryoglobulins are serum immunoglobulins that precipitate reversibly at low temperature. It is important to determine their presence, because they can be responsible for severe complications. They can also reveal underlying conditions, in particular hepatitis C and haematological diseases. Laboratory
Studies were carried out in two patients with multiple myeloma (immunoglobulin G, [IgG], K light chain), cryoglobulinemia and xanthomatosis with clinical features and lipid transport abnormalities which were quite different. One patient had nodular xanthomatosis and lipemia with delayed triglyceride
We describe a 28-year-old male patient in whom the development of idiopathic mixed cryoglobulinaemia (MC) with typical clinical manifestations such as polyarthralgia, weakness, purpura, and Raynaud's phenomenon was associated with a remarkable increase in serum triglycerides (TG). Prednisone
Background/aim: How hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and mixed cryoglobulinemia interactively affect complement levels remains elusive, and we aimed to elucidate it.
Methods:
The prevalence and factors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) -associated mixed cryoglobulinaemia in Asia remain elusive, and we aimed to investigate these topics.An 8-year prospective cohort study was conducted in 678 consecutive Taiwanese individuals with chronic Dear Editor, An 83-year-old woman developed yellow-brownish infiltrates, nodules, and tumors mimicking xanthomas, mostly involving the periorbital and chest area within three months (Figure 1). She had no abnormalities in serum cholesterol or triglycerides levels. A detailed laboratory analysis
Kidney involvement in immuno-mediated diseases is a life threatening complication to be early detected. Glomerulo-tubular functional indices, kidney-released enzymes and metabolic profiles were assessed in 21 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, progressive systemic sclerosis and mixed
Adverse reactions to interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) therapy include flu-like syndrome, bone marrow suppression, neurotoxic effects, and autoimmunity. A slight increase in triglyceride levels has been described less frequently during IFN-alpha administration. The incidence of IFN-alpha-induced
