Abstract

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHS) is an iatrogenic condition the pathogenesis of which involves generalized endothelial dysfunction. According to different authors' data, the incidence of severe OHS ranges from 0.01 to 15% per ovulation induction cycle. The objective of the study was to develop additional prognostic criteria for severe OHS in an assisted reproduction technology (ART) program. The time course of changes in serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the ART program was studied in 182 reproductive-aged patients at risk for OHS. There was a significant increase in the blood level of VEGF-A before administration of an ovulation trigger and on the day of follicular puncture in the further development of severe OHS versus a group without OHS. An early prognostic criterion for severe OHS was elaborated and proposed on the basis of biochemical laboratory diagnostic tests.
