A syndrome characterized by leakage of intravascular fluids into the extravascular space. This syndrome is observed in patients who demonstrate a state of generalized leaky capillaries following shock syndromes, low-flow states, ischemia-reperfusion injuries, toxemias, medications, or poisoning. It can lead to generalized edema and multiple organ failure.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for capillary leak syndrome has been reported in the published literature.
No approved treatments are currently available for capillary leak syndrome. An additional 1 compound holds orphan drug designation.
While no drugs are FDA-approved specifically for capillary leak syndrome, some of the following designated compounds may be used off-label in clinical practice. Treatment decisions should be made in consultation with a specialist familiar with this condition.
