Overview
All patients with capillary leak syndrome have an elevated hematocrit concentration during an attack, resulting in hemoconcentration. Moreover, elevated WBCs, elevated BUN, elevated creatinine, elevated creatine kinase and hypoalbuminemia without albuminuria may also be seen.

Capillary leak syndrome presents with the following lab abnormalities:
- Hemoconcentration (Increased hemoglobin and hematocrit)
- Elevated WBCs
- Elevated Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
- Elevated creatinine
- Elevated creatine kinase
- Hypoalbuminemia without albuminuria[1][2]
