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.
冷球蛋白血症是由抗体引起的，这些抗体在接触寒冷时会在血液中沉淀，而在升温时又会重新溶解。作者报告了一名患有原发性2型冷球蛋白血症的儿童，经血浆置换成功治疗，该患儿因IgA肾病发展为肾小球肾炎。保守治疗使病情自发改善，肾功能未恶化。
