| Core Tip |
The diagnosis of essential mixed cryoglobulinemia (EMC) requires thorough laboratory investigation to exclude all possible causes of cryoglobulin formation. Although cryoglobulin testing is simple, it requires careful temperature regulation to avoid false negative results. The testing panel should also include cryoglobulin quantification and characterization, rheumatoid factor activity and complement levels, to better facilitate patient management. Furthermore, there is a need to develop and implement consensus guidelines for laboratory and clinical diagnoses of EMC. |
