Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome associated with hypovolemic shock and compartment syndrome. Use of transpulmonary thermodilution technique for volume management

Abstract: Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome (SCLS) is a rare disorder characterized by increased capillary hyperpermeability leading to hypovolemic shock due to a markedly increased shift of fluid and protein from the intravascular to the interstitial space. Hemoconcentration, hypoalbuminemia and a monoclonal gammopathy are characteristic laboratory findings. Here we present a patient who suffered from SCLS with hypovolemic shock and compartment syndrome of both lower legs and thighs. Volume and catecholamine management … Show more

“…1 Histopathology of the peripheral microvasculature from patient biopsies has not shown gross anomalies, evidenced of disrupted angiogenesis, or the presence of inflammatory cells, complement, or immunoglobulin to suggest a vasculitis. 3, 26, 49 The absence of persistent structural abnormalities is consistent with a defective, but reversible, barrier dysfunction response of the blood vessels. Several results suggest the presence of humoral factors promoting VEH during disease flares: 1) transient spikes in monocyte/macrophage-associated inflammatory mediators during flares; 2) transient elevation in circulating angiogenic proteins during flares; 51, 61 and 3) impairment of in vitro microvascular endothelial cell (EC) barrier function provoked by acute but not convalescent SCLS sera.…”

“…Similar to the course in patients with sepsis, a significant drop in leukocyte and platelet counts was observed in both genotypes 6 h after sepsis induction. With the progression of systemic inflammation and infection, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, which may function as indicators of disseminated intravascular coagulation, occur (50, 51). Further studies are needed to elucidate the proposed mechanism and to understand the role of aSMase in platelet activation and thrombocytopenia during sepsis.…”

“…The principle of treatment is to control its progression, maintain organ function, maintain effective blood volume, and improve capillary permeability. [ 9 ] For liquid expansion, hydroxyethyl starch is preferred as it can improve endothelial function, reduce inflammation, effectively promote the flow of liquids and thus is often used in the clinic. Glucocorticoids can improve capillary permeability, which can be used to suppress inflammation, and are combined with diuretics to reduce volume load.…”
