Prevalence of cryoglobulinaemia in hepatitis C virus‐ and hepatitis C virus/human immunodeficiency virus‐infected individuals: implications for renal function

Background and aims: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) demonstrate an affinity towards lymphocytes B, stimulating the production of cryoglobulins. Deposits of cryoprecipitates contribute to glomerulonephritis and renal failure. The presence of cryoglobulins was investigated in the sera of HCV‐monoinfected and HCV/HIV‐coinfected individuals. Associations between types of cryoglobulins and HCV genotypes, viral load and renal function tests were also evaluated.
