چکیده

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 outpatient. Early in her course of treatment she complained of upper right quadrant pain. Her work-up included an upper right quadrant ultrasound which showed only moderate ascites. Liver function tests at that time were elevated in a hepatocellular damage pattern. Liver function test elevations, as well as the ovarian hyperstimulation, resolved spontaneously in 10 days. Transient abnormalities in liver function do not appear to be limited to the most sever forms of OHSS.

I-31: Antihistamine & Ovarian Hyperstimulation syndrome

Background: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a rare iatrogenic complication of ovulation stimulation. The pathogenesis of OHSS is uncertain.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of loratadine (antihistamine) in preventing ovarian hyperstimulation synd...
