Overview

As capillary leak syndrome has overlapping clinical and laboratory findings with various other conditions, it should be considered as the diagnosis of exclusion. Several conditions that may be considered as the differential diagnoses of capillary leak syndrome include polycythemia vera, hereditary angioedema, Gleich syndrome, adrenal insufficiency, mast cell disease, acute gastroenteritis, carcinoid syndrome, primary amyloidosis, chronic heart failure, sepsis, and toxic shock syndrome.

Differential diagnosis

Due to overlapping clinical and laboratory findings of capillary leak syndrome with other conditions, it is considered as the diagnosis of exclusion. The following are the differential diagnoses considered in patients with systemic capillary leak syndrome:

Differential diagnoses of Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome

Polycythemia vera Hereditary angioedema Gleich syndrome Adrenal insufficiency Mast cell disease Acute gastroenteritis Carcinoid syndrome Primary amyloidosis Chronic heart failure Sepsis Toxic shock syndrome Engraftment syndrome Differentiation syndrome Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis Viral hemorrhagic fevers Autoimmune diseases Snakebite envenomation Ricin poisoning
