Cryoglobulinemic Vasculitis

Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis is a condition where certain proteins called cryoglobulins, which become solid or gel-like in cold temperatures, build up in the blood. This buildup can inflame and damage blood vessels, leading to various symptoms like skin rashes, joint pain, fatigue, and even organ issues. Often associated with infections (like hepatitis), autoimmune diseases, or blood disorders, the treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and managing symptoms to improve quality of life.
