摘要
Purpose: To report serum concentrations of several cytokines (interleukin-6, interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and vascular endothelial growth factor) before and after the reinfusion of ultrafiltrated ascitic fluid. Methods: A case report of a woman hospitalized for the treatment of severe OHSS at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Tottori University Hospital. The serum concentrations of cytokines were analyzed by ELISA. Results: Cytokine concentrations declined in parallel with the improvement of clinical conditions and resolution of OHSS. Conclusions: Measurement of serum cytokine concentrations may be useful in evaluating the severity of OHSS.
