Capillary leak syndrome
Capillary Leak Syndrome or Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome(SCLS). A rare medical condition where the number and size of the pores in the capillaries are increased which leads to a leakage of fluid from the blood to the interstitial fluid, resulting in dangerously low blood pressure (hypotension), edema and multiple organ failiure due to limited perfusion.
