In patients who present with a stable blood pressure and show signs of fluid overload, loop diuretics are the first-line therapy.34, 35 In some patients with marginal blood pressure and fluid overload, but intact perfusion, the combination of albumin and diuretics has been successful for removing volume. 6 Patients in whom AKI with oliguria develops are likely to require renal replacement therapy.

Overview What is capillary leak syndrome? Capillary leak syndrome happens when plasma (the liquid part of your blood) leaks out of tiny blood vessels (capillaries). The fluid leaks into muscles, tissues, organs and body cavities (spaces that hold organs).
Treatment. The cause of systemic capillary leak syndrome is unknown, and there's no known cure. Treatment during episodes aims to stabilize symptoms and prevent severe complications.
Capillary leak syndrome: etiologies, pathophysiology, and management. In various human diseases, an increase in capillary permeability to proteins leads to the loss of protein-rich fluid from the intravascular to the interstitial space.
Fluid management is a critical part of the treatment of capillary leak syndrome; hypovolemia and hypotension can cause organ injury, whereas capillary leakage of administered fluid can worsen organ edema leading to progressive organ injury.
Although sepsis is the disease most commonly associated with this phenomenon, many other diseases can lead to a "sepsis-like" syndrome with manifestations of diffuse pitting edema, exudative serous cavity effusions, noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, hypotension, and, in some cases, hypovolemic shock with multiple-organ failure.
Acute kidney injury is commonly seen in all of these diseases. In addition to hypotension, cytokines are likely to be important in the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury in capillary leak syndrome.
Systemic capillary leak syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by repeated flares of massive leakage of plasma from blood vessels into neighboring body cavities and muscles. This results in a sharp drop in blood pressure that, if not treated, can lead to organ failure and death. Also called Clarkson's disease, this condition can be ...
Symptoms. Attacks of systemic capillary leak syndrome are often preceded by one to two days of one or more nonspecific symptoms that may include: Irritability. Fatigue. Abdominal pain. Nausea. Muscle aches. Increased thirst. Sudden increase in body weight.
As the fluid leaks out from the bloodstream, blood volume and blood pressure drop. This can starve tissues in the kidneys, brain and liver of the oxygen and nutrients they need for normal function. By Mayo Clinic Staff. Systemic capillary leak syndrome care at Mayo Clinic.
Also called Clarkson's disease, this condition can be mistaken for severe reactions to widespread infections (septic shock) or severe allergic reactions (ana phylactic shock). Attacks may be triggered by an upper respiratory infection or intense physical exertion.
