The systemic capillary leak syndrome: a scarcely known nephrological entity.

In conclusion, though SCLS is a rare entity, the associated morbidity and mortality require the physician's awareness to provide timely therapy. Underrecognition in the medical community and rarity of this syndrome have precluded analysis by rational clinical trial designs that are necessary to determine more targeted and adequate therapy. This report is meant to enhance awareness of SCLS in the nephrology community.
