Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Capillary Leak Syndrome

    a condition characterized by recurring episodes of fluid leaking from capillaries into extra-vascular compartments causing hematocrit to rise precipitously. if not treated, generalized vascular leak can lead to generalized edema; shock; cardiovascular collapse; and multiple organ failure.

Footnotes

[1] Chronic - a chronic condition code indicates a condition lasting 12 months or longer and its effect on the patient based on one or both of the following criteria:

  • The condition results in the need for ongoing intervention with medical products,treatment, services, and special equipment
