The distinct presentations are due to the different pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the disease process that tends to create an inflammatory response in various organs.Here, we present a rare and a challenging case of Cryoglobulinemic Vasculitis in a patient who had both cutaneous and renal involvement despite of no underlying Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) infection and responded well to the immunosuppressive agents.Cryoglobulinemic Vasculitis is a complex immunological condition which can result in a life-threatening devastating complications such as loss of limb.
