  • Title: Spurious fibrinogen levels secondary to pyroglobulinemia in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
    Author: Cagnoni PJ, Lenzi R, Wisch N, Seremetis S, Rand JH.
    Journal: Am J Hematol; 1995 Feb; 48(2):126-7. PubMed ID: 7847327.
    Abstract:
    We report two cases of pyroglobulinemia detected in the course of routine determination of fibrinogen levels measured by the heat-precipitation method and that led to the diagnosis of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. The incidence of pyroglobulinemia is briefly discussed, and the potential significance of this laboratory artifact is emphasized.
