| Interpretive Data: |
The sample is examined daily for the presence or absence of cryoglobulin.
|
| Note: |
Cryoglobulins are usually associated with certain plasma cell and lymphoproliferative disorders, but have also been demonstrated in collagen vascular disease, hepatitis C infection, and infections such as infectious mononucleosis and cytomegalovirus disease.
If after three days cryoprecipitate is observed, then quantitative immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, and IgM) will be added.
