ABSTRACT
Cryoglobulinemia is caused by antibodies which precipitate in blood on exposure to cold, and redissolve on warming. The authors present a child with essential, Type 2 cryoglobulinaemia, successfully treated with plasmapheresis, who developed glomerulonephritis due to IgA nephropathy. Conservative treatment resulted in spontaneous improvement with no deterioration in renal function.
