Cryoglobulinemia is a medical condition in which the blood contains large amounts of cryoglobulins - proteins (mostly immunoglobulins themselves) that become insoluble at reduced temperatures. This should be contrasted with cold agglutinins, which cause agglutination of RBCs. Cryoglobulins typically precipitate at temperatures below normal body te...

Cryoglobulinemia: The presence in blood of abnormal proteins called cryoglobulins that, by definition, have the unusual properties of precipitating from the blood serum when it is chilled and redissolving upon rewarming. (Cryoglobulins are gamma globulins with a molecular weight of approximately 200,000.) Cryoglobulins can cause problems by causing...
