description Cryoglobulins can precipitate in the blood when exposed to lower temperatures. These abnormal immunoglobulins are more commonly affiliated with Hepatitis C infection but there have been cases reported with Hepatitis A association for which we present this case. The patient was treated with steroids which did show gradual improvement of symptoms but, ultimately, the patient developed renal failure and required temporary hemodialysis. Care should be taken to assess patients with cryoglobulins for other viral serologies besides Hepatitis C.
