ABSTRACT
Cryoglobulins are immunoglobulins characterized by precipitating when serum is cooled and redissolving when serum is heated. There is strong evidence to consider mixed cryoglobulins as circulating immunocomplexes, and various investigators have applied the precipitating physical property as a method to isolate immunocomplexes. In the recent years some authors have reported the presence of cryoglobulins in acute and chronic liver diseases of diverse etiology. This study investigates the presence of cryoglobulins in 34 patients with different liver diseases. Mixed cryoglobulins were detected in eight patients (23.5 percent), but only three of them had clinical symptoms attributable to the existence of cryoglobulins. In relation to the etiology of the liver disease, the highest frequency has been found among patients with hepatopathies of undetermined origin.
