VPPRN Patient-Powered Research
Cryoglobulinemic Vasculitis (Cryoglobulinemia)
Every 6 months, we ask our VPPRN community to check-in and tell us how they are doing. The graphs below reflect the scores/ratings of patients with cryoglobulinemic vasculitis (cryoglobulinemia) compared to the Network as a whole. Here is what we learned about flares, fatigue, pain, symptoms of vasculitis, and members’ current state of vasculitis at the July 2025 check-in:
- Compared to patients with other forms of vasculitis, patients with cryoglobulinemic vasculitis reported the following:
- more reported flares
- similar scores for fatigue
- higher scores/ratings for their symptoms of vasculitis over the past 28 days
- higher scores for pain
- a similar percentage of patients with cryoglobulinemic vasculitis reported their vasculitis as active.
- Compared to patients with other forms of vasculitis, patients with cryoglobulinemic vasculitis reported the following:
If you have concerns about your health scores, please discuss with your rheumatologist or primary care provider.
