Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SHCI) is a rare condition causing edema and shock. Intravenous fluids effectively treated these two cases, highlighting their importance in managing SHCI symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Rare Diseases
  • Critical Care

Background:

  • Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SHCI) is a rare, severe condition.
  • Characterized by recurrent edema and hypotension.
  • Associated with a poor prognosis.

Observation:

  • Two female patients (34 and 41 years old) presented with edema and shock.
  • One patient experienced muscular edema and compartment syndrome requiring emergency surgery.
  • Diagnosis confirmed by elevated hematocrit and low albumin.

Findings:

  • Intravenous fluid administration improved clinical and biological symptoms.
  • Dysglobulinemia, often associated with SHCI, was not found in these patients.
  • Macromolecular solutions are crucial for treating shock in SHCI.

Implications:

  • These cases align with existing literature on SHCI.
  • Effective management of SHCI shock relies on intravenous fluids.
  • Preventive treatment strategies for SHCI remain empirical and require further research.
