Abstract EN
Cryoglobulinemia is an uncommon condition typically due to hepatitis C infection.
Its clinical presentation is varied and often reflects deposition of immune complex and complement deposition.
Renal compromise is observed in approximately one third of patients with mixed cryoglobulinemia and reports of concomitant pulmonary involvement are quite rare.
We report a case of a patient who presented with pulmonary and renal manifestations of cryoglobulinemia with a serum rheumatoid factor over one hundred times the upper limit of normal and benefited from high-dose steroids and plasmapheresis in the acute setting.
