A member asked:

Help please, my doctors think i have cryoglobulinemia that is linked with amyloidosis. what is the cause of this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

3 broad : Cryoglobulinemia associated with amyloid is generally due to 1 of 3 causes: 1: an immune blood cell disorder (such as multiple myeloma) 2: an infection ( like hepatitis C) or 3: a "connective tissue" immune disorder such as lupus. Therapy is quite specific for each cause. You should talk with your MD to determine which type of specialist might be needed to clarify the exact cause and best Rx.
