Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis is a systemic disease that involves multiple organ systems but remains diagnostically challenging. We report the case of a 69-year-old man who presented with progressive dyspnea over 1 week, followed by the development of a purpuric rash, bilateral distal lower extremity numbness, and acute kidney injury (AKI). Extensive evaluation by a multidisciplinary team excluded malignancy and infectious causes. Further investigations revealed evidence of systemic vasculitis, consistent with a diagnosis of cryoglobulinemic vasculitis.
