Cryoglobulinaemia Type I – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/317480042

Simple (monoclonal) cryoglobulinemia or type I cryoglobulinemia refers to the presence in the serum of one isotype or subclass of immunoglobulin (Ig) that precipitates reversibly below 37 degrees C. This serological disorder is almost invariably associated with well-known haematological disorders, usually B-cell dyscrasias (multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia).
