Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a recognized complication of ovulation induction. Abnormalities in liver function have been considered to be a rare manifestation of the severe form of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). A 28 year old woman with primary infertility underwent ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination. She was diagnosed with moderate OHSS and was followed as an ...

The goal of ovarian Stimulation for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) is obtaining multifollicular growth ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the most Severe and also potentially Life-threatening complications, which happens in 1-10% of IVF cycles. The most common risk factors which are related to OHSS are polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), younger age, high preovulatory...

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an iatrogenic complication that is associated with modern techniques for in vitro fertilization. Extensive efforts have been made to understand the pathophysiology and to improve the management of this entity. The severe and life-threatening forms of the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome are still challenging for critical care physicians. This article...

OBJECTIVE To report two cases with GnRH agonist triggering and a freeze-all approach in a GnRH antagonist protocol resulting in the development of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), requiring hospitalization and peritoneal drainage. DESIGN Two case reports. SETTING A tertiary referral center and an obstetrics and gynecology department of a hospital. PATIENT(S) Case 1 and cas...

abstract the gnrh analogue (agonist and antagonist gnrh) changed ovarian stimulation. on the one hand, it improved chances of pregnancy to obtain more oocytes and better embryos. this leads to an ovarian hyper-response, which can be complicated by the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss). on the other hand, the gnrh analogue can prevent the incidence of ohss: gnrh antagonist protocols, gnrh...

Background: Coasting is the most common method used in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) acting through vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) reduction. However, the pregnancy rate is reported to fall with coasting when it takes more than three days. Recently lowdose cabergoline, a selective D2 dopamine receptor agonist has been proven to selectively reduce vascular...

background: evaluation of anti-mullerian hormone (amh) cut-off levels in assisted reproductive technology (art) as predictive factor for individualization of stimulation protocols and to avoid ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss). materials and methods: in a retrospective study, 177 infertile patients were assessed for amh in serum and follicular fluid (ff) on the day of follicular puncture...

This review examines recent evidence suggesting a role for the immune system, in particular cytokines, in the pathogenesis of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Ovarian tissue is known to contain cells capable of producing a range of immunological mediators and the concentrations of these have been shown to be elevated in serum and ascitic fluid from women with established OHSS. Availabl...

BACKGROUND An approach consisting of elective cryopreservation of all embryos has been proposed for patients at risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Although elective cryopreservation can prevent pregnancy-induced late OHSS, it cannot prevent early OHSS. Early OHSS is reported to have been complicated with thromboembolism. The study was carried out to assess the efficacy with which...

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is usually iatrogenic and potentially life-threatening complication of ovulation induction [1]. It has been categorized into three types according to the proposed mechanisms; type 1 corresponds to the mutated FSH receptor (FSHr) genes; type 2 corresponds to the spontaneous OHSS secondary to high levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which is the ...
