Özet

Abstract Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS) is characterized by a triad of hypotension, hemoconcentration and hypoalbuminemia due to a shift of intravascular fluid and albumin to the extravascular area. We describe a hypovolemic patient with hemoconcentration and hypoalbuminemia who was successfully treated with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG). The purpose of this case report is to discuss the clinical management of idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome on the background of relevant literature review.
