title: [Detection and significance of cryoglobulins].
abstract: Cryoglobulins are immunoglobulins which reversibly precipitate at cold temperatures. They are usually accompanied with polymorphic clinical manifestations and biological abnormalities. Cryoglobulins are associated with various clinical disorders which include autoimmune diseases, lymphoproliferative and infectious disorders. Because of their low concentration, detection and quantitation of cryoglobulins need very rigorous conditions when collecting blood from patients.
