Acute prerenal failure and liver dysfunction in a patient with severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome

Hum Reprod. 1990 Apr;5(3):348-51. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.humrep.a137103.

Abstract

We report a case of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome which developed in a patient after ovarian stimulation for in-vitro fertilization (IVF). This was complicated by prerenal oliguria due to indomethacin therapy and liver dysfunction. The pathogenetic mechanisms involved are discussed.
