Type 2 cryoglobulinemia treated with plasmapheresis associated with IgA nephropathy.

Victor Grech1, Cecil Vella, Alex Aquilina.   

Abstract

Cryoglobulinemia is caused by antibodies which precipitate in blood on exposure to cold, and redissolve on warming. The authors present a child with essential, Type 2 cryoglobulinaemia, successfully treated with plasmapheresis, who developed glomerulonephritis due to IgA nephropathy. Conservative treatment resulted in spontaneous improvement with no deterioration in renal function.
