==Overview==
'''''Synonyms and Keywords:''''' Systemic capillary leak syndrome; SCLS; Clarkson's disease.
'''Capillary Leak Syndrome''' or '''Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome'''(SCLS).
A rare [[medical condition]] where the number and size of the [[pore]]s in the [[capillaries]] are increased which leads to a leakage of [[fluid]] from the [[blood]] to the [[interstitial fluid]], resulting in dangerously low [[blood pressure]] ([[hypotension]]), [[edema]] and multiple [[Organ (anatomy)|organ]] failiure due to limited [[perfusion]].


==History==
==[[Capillary leak syndrome overview|Overview]]==
The [[syndrome]] was first described by [[Clarkson]] in [[1960]].

1. The capillary leak phase (1-4 days)
[[Capillary leak syndrome history and symptoms|History and Symptoms]] | [[Capillary leak syndrome physical examination|Physical Examination]] | [[Capillary leak syndrome laboratory findings|Laboratory Findings]] | [[Capillary leak syndrome other diagnostic studies|Other Diagnostic Studies]]
The initial phase is the capillary leak phase, lasting from 1 to 4 days. Clinical features are [[abdomen|abdominal]] pain, [[nausea]], generalized edema and hypotension that may result in [[cardiopulmonary collapse]]. [[Acute renal failure]] is due to acute tubular [[necrosis]] consequent to [[hypovolemia]] and [[rhabdomyolysis]].


2. Recruitment of the interstitial fluid
==Treatment==
The second phase results in the recruitment of the initially extravasated fluid. Intravascular overload with polyuria and pulmonary edema often occur. Edema may be more severe due to massive fluid supply in the initial phase. It's necessary to monitor the patient in order to switch to [[depletion treatment]] with [[diuretics]] or [[hemofiltration]].


==Prognosis==
[[Capillary leak syndrome medical therapy|Medical Therapy]] | [[Capillary leak syndrome prevention|Prevention]] | [[Capillary leak syndrome cost-effectiveness of therapy|Cost-Effectiveness of Therapy]] | [[Capillary leak syndrome future or investigational therapies|Future or Investigational Therapies]]
Mortality is reported in 21% of the 57 cases described. However, better management of this condition has recently led to lower mortality. A few [[prophylactic]] treatments have been tried with variable results, principally [[terbutaline]] and [[theophyllin]]. Patients need to be monitored for monoclonal gammopathy since it may turn into multiple [[myeloma]].
