Hyperreactio luteinalis, a rare ovarian enlargement in pregnancy, can mimic OHSS. This case highlights a unique presentation in a patient with chronic renal failure, requiring conservative management.

Area of Science:

Reproductive Endocrinology
Maternal-Fetal Medicine
Nephrology

Background:

Hyperreactio luteinalis is a rare, benign condition causing bilateral ovarian enlargement.
It is associated with high maternal serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels during pregnancy.
The condition can be mistaken for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

Observation:

A 34-year-old woman with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis presented with hyperreactio luteinalis at 10 weeks' gestational age.
Her presentation and disease course differed from typical cases due to her underlying renal condition.

Findings:

Conservative management was successfully employed for the hyperreactio luteinalis.
Chronic renal failure influenced the clinical manifestation and progression of hyperreactio luteinalis.

Implications:

This case expands the understanding of hyperreactio luteinalis variations in pregnancy.
Highlights the importance of considering comorbidities like chronic renal failure in managing gynecological conditions during pregnancy.
Suggests conservative approaches may be effective even in complex patient profiles.
