 Cryoglobulins are proteins that clump together when the temperature in the blood goes down. The temperature in the extremities or the skin is usually cooler and the clumping can occur and block blood vessels and can cause infections, rashes, arthritis etc. The best way to treat this is to get rid of the hepatitis C! Good luck! DTD | ||||||||
