title: Ascites ultrafiltration and concentration-reinfusion in severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
abstract: Mild forms of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome are common in women undergoing in-vitro fertilization, affecting up to 33% of in-vitro fertilization cycles; 3-8% of cycles are complicated by moderate or severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, 2006). To treat severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, albumin and other colloid solutions are used intravenously to increase the perfusion pressure (Manaka et al, 1995; Balasch et al, 1996), heparin to restore coagulation (Balasch et al, 1996) and dopamine to increase renal blood flow (Brinsden et al, 1995), but these all have limited effects.
