Abstract

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in a renal transplant patient undergoing assisted conception treatment is reported. A couple with infertility secondary to tubal blockage and pelvic endometriosis received IVF treatment. Ovarian enlargement secondary to OHSS resulted in obstruction in the transplanted kidney and deterioration of renal function. No other systemic manifestations of OHSS were evident. Conservative management was successful and a twin live birth was later achieved by replacement of two frozen-thawed embryos.
