A member asked:
Is cryofibrinogenemia a form of vasculitis?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, kind of: Vasculitis is one of the manifestation of cryoglobulinemia. But the condition itself is a abnormal production of proteins which are commonly made by abnormal lymphoid/plasma cells....Often these are abnormal/neoplastic cells that make these abnormal proteins.
