Type I cryoglobulins are monoclonal immunoglobulins produced due to underlying hematological malignancy. Cryoglobulins spontaneously precipitate from serum and plasma at low temperatures and become soluble again on rewarming to 37 °C. Processing of blood at temperature lower than 37 °C in the laboratory may cause precipitation of cryoglobulins resulting in interferences in the automated cell counter analysis.
