The cause of cryoglobulinemia is not known, but it may be associated with other diseases, such as liver disease, infection, connective tissue disease, multiple myeloma or lymphoma, or hepatitis C virus infection.
What is cryoglobulinemia?
Cryoglobulinemia is a medical condition that is caused by proteins called cryoglobulins, which are present in the blood.
Cryoglobulinemia can also accompany another disease such as multiple myeloma, dermatomyositis, or lymphoma.
Sometimes, small amounts of cryoglobulins are discovered by accident in the lab in a serum sample from someone with no apparent symptoms.
Cryoglobulinemia (a disorder in which protein clumps form in the blood). This can cause skin rash and ulcers, kidney problems, arthritis, and sensations (such as tingling or pain) in the hands and feet.

What causes Raynaud's phenomenon?
The exact cause of Raynaud's is unknown. One theory links blood disorders characterized by increased platelets or red blood cells that may increase the blood thickness.

Cryoglobulinemia, which may occur when the paraprotein is of a specific type that comes out of solution as particles when exposed to cold temperatures.
Cryoglobulinemia: People with this rare condition produce a protein that precipitates, or falls out of solution, when the blood is exposed to cold temperatures.
Cryoglobulinemia - Cryoglobulins are a combination of the body's infection-fighting proteins (antibodies, immunoglobulins) and their target proteins (antigens).
CRYOGLOBULINEMIA: a condition in which cryoglobulins form in the blood. When the blood is cooled, the cryoglobulins clump together, causing the blood to thicken and restricting blood flow.
'Cryoglobulinemia' refers to abnormal proteins in the blood. These proteins form a gel when a blood sample is exposed to temperatures lower than normal body temperature.
