Cryofibrinogenaemia (CryoFg) is an under-recognized cryoprotein that can be life-threatening when untreated. Symptoms are mainly thrombotic cutaneous manifestations, but other thrombotic localizations may occur. In patients with end-stage renal disease, thromboses are common. However, the implication of CryoFg was never assessed. The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence and the significance of CryoFg in patients with renal disorders.
