Abstract
Cryoglobulinemia (CG)-associated pulmonary hemorrhage is an unusual entity. An even rarer occurrence is that of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) in a patient with CG and alveolar hemorrhage. As far as we can tell, there has been no more than a total of four such cases that have been formally published, and this would be the fifth case [1,2].Keywords
