“…Symptomatic cryofibrinogenaemia has been treated with numerous schedules including heparin, warfarin, streptokinase, plasmapheresis, anabolic steroids, and immunosuppressive therapy [9,10,12,[14][15][16]. In cases of mild symptoms and signs, avoidance of cold exposure may be enough.…”

Cryofibrinogenaemia refers to the presence of cold-precipitable proteins in plasma but not in serum. It is usually associated with malignancy, thromboembolic diseases or various inflammatory processes; rarely it may be essential. The most common clinical presentations of cryofibrinogenaemia are cold-intolerance, purpura, skin necrosis and ulcers. We describe a middle-aged woman with essential cryofibrinogenaemia, leukocytoclastic vasculitis, and chronic purpura for over 25 years with several exacerbations. In patients with otherwise unexplained purpura or skin necrosis, determination of plasma cryofibrinogen should be considered.

“…Leptin is a protein [molecular weight (MW) 16.7kDa] involved in the control of food intake and energy expenditure (1). Its increased levels in patients with chronic renal failure may be involved in the development of uremic anorexia and malnutrition (2). In patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD), leptin can pass through the peritoneum.…”

“…It is often asymptomatic but may present with thromboembolic phenomena of the skin and viscera (1). An association of CF with Henoch–Schönlein purpura and IgA nephropathy has been described (1-3). However, a close pathogenetic relationship between the two conditions is not clear.…”
