Abstrakt: | Monoclonal gammopathy-associated idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (ISCLS, Clarkson disease) is a rare disorder defined by transient but recurrent bouts of hypotensive shock and anasarca resulting from plasma extravasation. Although prophylactic treatment with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG, 1-2 g/kg/mo) prevents most disease flares, its utility for acute episodes of ISCLS is unclear. Here, we report the results of a retrospective study of subjects with acute ISCLS treated at or near the onset of symptoms with IVIG. We found that administration of IVIG with minimal additional intravenous fluids was safe and associated with rapid clinical improvement. IVIG given close to the onset of ISCLS-related symptoms is associated with a favorable outcome. |
