title: Human albumin does not prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in assisted reproductive technology program: a prospective randomized placebo-controlled double blind study.
abstract: We aimed to clarify the efficiency of IV human albumin in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). We found that human albumin at the described strength does not seem to either prevent or reduce the incidence of severe OHSS in high risk patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
