OHSS - complications

Complications  -

• Hypo-albuminaemia - the ascites fluid is an exudate

• Electrolyte imbalance - hyponatraemia with hyperkalaemic acidosis

• Increased thrombogenesis - due to haemo-concentration and immobility. 

 Arterial, venous and intra-cerebral thrombosis occurs

• Cardio-respiratory failure - effusions, ascites and ARDS

• Pre-renal failure and multiple organ failure
