Overview

The relationship between Capillary leak syndrome and post-episodic levels of monoclonal IgG are of interest and continue to be studied. In one out of five patients, a monoclonal IgG gammopathy has been found.

Future or Investigational therapies

After an attack, various substances were measured in the body including products derived the coagulation pathway, complement pathway, bradykinin generation, prostaglandins and histamine metabolism. Although these products were all in within normal limits, affected individuals were continuously found to have a monoclonal IgG gammopathy. Studies continue to be done to understand the relationship between monoclonal IgG gammopathy and Capillary leak syndrome.[1]
