Is it common or rare to have a positive cryofibrinogen test?

Rare: This is an unusual disorder although many experts believe it to be underdiagnosed.

Common: It all depends how hard the physicians look. In one study, 13% of healthy folks had a bit of cryofibrinogen on board. On the other hand, if (as i think your previous questions have suggested) you developed severe symptoms in the cold, or ulcers that were not explained, maybe you're one of the few people for who a cryoprotein of some sort really is a problem. Best wishes.
