Abstract

Background: Ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the most serious iatrogenic complications during in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). How to treat OHSS has attracted the attention of many scholars. Here we reported a case treated with reinfusion of ascites after concentration and ultrafiltration in hope of providing a new option in clinics.

Case presentation: The patient experienced severe OHSS demonstrated by severe electrolyte disorder, blood concentration, hypercoagulability and loss of protein. The symptom aggravated even with symptomatic treatment. After treat with reinfusion of ascites after concentration and ultrafiltration, the above-mentioned symptoms were significantly relieved. The patient was discharged with two alive embryos and low hospital expense.

Conclusion: We inferred reinfusion of ascites after ultrafiltration and concentration could achieved a good curative effect and can be further used in clinical practice.
