The systemic capillary leak syndrome: a scarcely known nephrological entity.
[systemic capillary leak syndrome]
The
idiopathic
systemic
capillary
leak
syndrome
(
SCLS
)
is
a
rare
life-threatening
disorder
characterized
by
periodic
episodes
of
hypovolemic
shock
,
due
to
plasma
leakage
from
the
intravascular
to
the
interstitial
space
,
as
reflected
by
accompanying
hypoalbuminemia
,
hemoconcentration
and
edema
.
Here
we
report
the
case
of
a
65
-
year
-old
woman
affected
by
SCLS
who
required
aggressive
resuscitation
with
norepinephrine
,
steroids
,
albumin
and
crystalloids
.
Then
,
a
long
-term
prophylaxis
with
a
ß
(
2
)
-
adrenergic
receptor
agonist
and
theophylline
was
started
.
In
conclusion
,
though
SCLS
is
a
rare
entity
,
the
associated
morbidity
and
mortality
require
the
physician
's
awareness
to
provide
timely
therapy
.
Underrecognition
in
the
medical
community
and
rarity
of
this
syndrome
have
precluded
analysis
by
rational
clinical
trial
designs
that
are
necessary
to
determine
more
targeted
and
adequate
therapy
.
This
report
is
meant
to
enhance
awareness
of
SCLS
in
the
nephrology
community
.
