|

Figure 1: Results of the Italian6 and French7
studies are compared. The prevalences of cirrhosis in essential mixed
cryoglobulinaemia (EMC) and in cryoglobulinaemia secondary to chronic
liver disease (2° CLD) are shown. The prevalences of the type of cryoglobulinaemia
(II or III) and rheumatoid factor (RF) and antibodies to hepatitis C virus
antigens (HCV Ab) in the serum are shown for each group. Reprinted from
