Zusammenfassung:Other laboratory values were as follows: blood urea, 68 mg/dL; serum creatinine level, 0.4 mg/dL; random blood glucose, 95 mg/dL; total serum protein, 4.8g/dL; serum albumin, 2.8g/dL; serum sodium, 136 mmol/L; and serum potassium, 5.3 mmol/L. To make the diagnosis of SCLS, a lot of conditions must be ruled out such as sepsis syndrome; hereditary angioedema; chemotherapy (interferon, IL-2, gemcitabine, Granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF), aldesleukin); systemic mastocytosis; hemophagotic syndrome; multiple myeloma; lymphoma; Sezary syndrome; recurrent toxic shock syndrome; adrenal disease; pheochromocytoma; episodic angioedema with eosinophilia syndrome (Gleich's syndrome); nonepisodic angioedema with eosinophilia; and nodules, eosinophilia, rheumatism, dermatitis, and swelling [3,12]. [...]we describe a patient who experienced recurrent episodes of abdominal pain and hypovolemic shock as a cause of Clarkson's disease.
