Cryoglobulinemia secondary to acute viral hepatitis. Evaluation of a hospital study
La Ricerca in Clinica E in Laboratorio
|April 1, 1986
Abstract:
In the present study the possible relationships between cryoglobulins and acute hepatitis of different viral etiology have been investigated. In most cases, cryoglobulins represent a transient phenomenon limited to the acute phase of the disease. Conversely, in 2 cases the persistence of cryoglobulins was associated with a histological pattern of chronic persistent hepatitis.

Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver most commonly caused by hepatotropic viruses (A–E), though non-infectious causes such as alcohol and drugs also exist.Hepatitis AHepatitis A virus (HAV) is a non-enveloped RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family. It is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route, typically through ingestion of contaminated food or water. After ingestion, HAV enters the bloodstream through the oropharynx or intestinal epithelium and reaches the liver. The...
01:28Viral Hepatitis I: Introduction
Viral hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver caused by infection with hepatotropic viruses, most commonly hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Despite variations in structure and transmission, all viruses mentioned infect hepatocytes and provoke immune responses that can hinder liver function. Additionally, some non-hepatotropic viruses can also lead to hepatic inflammation.Hepatitis A VirusHepatitis A virus (HAV) is transmitted through the fecal–oral route, typically by ingestion of food...
