Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) can cause liver function abnormalities, even in moderate cases. These transient liver issues, along with OHSS, often resolve spontaneously without specific treatment.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Endocrinology
- Hepatology
- Infertility Treatment
Background:
- Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a known complication of ovulation induction therapies.
- Liver dysfunction is a rare but documented manifestation of severe OHSS.
- The occurrence of liver function abnormalities in moderate OHSS requires further investigation.
