Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Hepatology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a potential complication of assisted reproductive technologies.
  • This case involves a 32-year-old woman undergoing ovarian stimulation with human menopausal gonadotropin and human chorionic gonadotropin for fertility treatment.

Observation:

  • The patient presented with symptoms of OHSS, including nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distention.
  • Severe hepatic injury developed during hospitalization, characterized by a >100-fold increase in aminotransferase activity.
  • Ultrasound revealed enlarged ovaries, ascites, and pleural/pericardial effusions.

Findings:

  • Treatment led to a gradual reduction in ovarian size and resolution of effusions and ascites.

  • The patient recovered from severe liver dysfunction and was discharged after 46 days.
  • Pregnancy proceeded without complications, resulting in a healthy infant at 38 weeks' gestation.

    • Implications:

    • Severe liver dysfunction is a significant, albeit rare, complication of OHSS.
    • Understanding the link between OHSS and hepatic injury is vital for optimizing patient management.
    • This case highlights the importance of monitoring liver function in patients with severe OHSS.
