Complications include:
The complications of cryoglobulinemia are as follows:
*Bleeding in the digestive tract (rare)
*Rapidly progressive [[neuropathy]]
*Heart disease (rare)
* [[Congestive heart failure|Heart failure]]
*Infections of ulcers
* Digital [[ischemia]] threatening amputation
*[[Kidney failure]]
* Diffuse [[Alveolus|alveolar]] [[Bleeding|hemorrhage]] resulting in [[hemoptysis]]
*[[Liver failure]]
* [[Respiratory failure]]
*Skin death
* [[Stroke]]
*Death
* [[Chronic renal failure|End stage renal disease]]
* Low-grade [[Non-Hodgkins lymphoma]]s may occur with increased frequency among these patients.


==Prognosis==
==Prognosis==
Patients having severe manifestations of the disease such as pulmonary vasculitis, end-stage renal disease, cardiac vasculitis and central nervous system vasculitis have generally poor prognosis of the disease. The prognosis of cryoglobulinemia depends on the organ system involved and varies accordingly.

Natural History

Complications

The complications of cryoglobulinemia are as follows:

Prognosis

Patients having severe manifestations of the disease such as pulmonary vasculitis, end-stage renal disease, cardiac vasculitis and central nervous system vasculitis have generally poor prognosis of the disease. The prognosis of cryoglobulinemia depends on the organ system involved and varies accordingly.

Organ system involved Survival rate
Glomerulonephritis 79%
Pulmonary vasculitis 22%
Central nervous system vasculitis 66%
Gastrointestinal vasculitis 67%
Cardiac vasculitis 100%
