My mother died of complications from undiagnosed primary cryoglobunemia. I HAVE HAD A LIFETIME of dvts, peripheral insufficiciency and peripheral nueropathy. I ALWAYS HAVE MUCH MORE TROUBLE in the extremely cold weather. I have had numerous tests for autoimmune diseases and always fall in the grey area. What is going on with me?
Cryoglobulinemia is one of the most common extrahepatic manifestations of HCV. About 40% of people with hepatitis C have blood markers for this condition. However, only a small fraction (10%) of the people with hepatitis C who have these markers are symptomatic. In addition, severe consequences of hepatitis C related cryoglobulinemia usually require a long period of infection with hepatitis C virus before the severe damage occurs. Treatment of symptomatic HCV-related cryoglobulinemia usually consists of treating the cause...HCV.

This is a forum for Hepatitis C. I think you should post somewhere else on the MedHelp website. You'd have a better chance getting answers.
