---|---|---|---|---|
Mild OHSS |
Enlargement of bilateral ovaries with multiple follicular. | Corpus luteal cysts, measuring up to 8 cm. | Abdominal bloating and mild abdominal pain. | |
Moderate OHSS | Ovaries up to 12 cm. | Abdominal bloating due to an increase in ovarian size. | Gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting and diarrhea). | Ultrasound evidence of ascites and rapid weight gain of over 2.5–3 kg. |
Severe OHSS | Large ovarian cysts (>12 × 12 cm), clinical ascites with or without hydrothorax. | Hyperkalemia (potassium > 5 mmol/L), hyponatremia (sodium < 135 mmol/L). | Oliguria (<300 mL/d or <30 mL/h), creatinine 1.1–1.5 mg/dL, and hypovolemic shock. Hemoconcentration with hematocrit > 45%, white cell count > 15,000. |
Liver dysfunction, increased blood viscosity, and thromboembolic. |
Critical OHSS |
Severe ascites or hydrothorax, hematocrit > 55%, white cell count > 25,000/mL. | Oliguria or anuria, creatinine ≥ 1.6 mg/dL, creatinine clearance < 50 mL/min. |
Thromboembolism, or acute respiratory distress syndrome. |
