Summary
Low levels of cryofibrinogen, a cold-precipitable abnormal fibrinogen complex, were linked to mild circulatory issues in four patients. Further screening found cryofibrinogen in only one of 195 other patients, suggesting a potential association.
Area of Science:
- Internal Medicine
- Hematology
- Clinical Pathology
Background:
- Peripheral circulatory complaints can stem from various underlying conditions.
- Cryofibrinogen, a cold-precipitable abnormal fibrinogen complex, is a rare plasma protein abnormality.
- Understanding associations between rare proteinopathies and clinical symptoms is crucial for diagnosis.
