A case report of Clarkson's disease: If you don't know it, you'll miss it.

The systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS), also known as Clarkson's disease, is a rare disorder characterized by paroxysmal capillary hyperpermeability with a shift of plasma fluid from the intravascular to the interstitial space.

Laboratory analysis revealed a severe hemoconcentration, renal insufficiency, and paraproteinemia.
