THE ROLE OF HIGH FOLLICULAR LEVELS OF ANGIOTENSIN II AND VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR IN ANTICIPATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE OVARIAN HYPERSTIMULATION SYNDROME IN PATIENTS WITH PROPHYLACTIC CABERGOLINE THERAPY UNDERGOING AN IN VITRO FERTILIZATION PROCEDURE

摘要

Severe Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) forms with very aggressive clinical evolution are still common, despite prophylactic measures. Besides the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), there are other angiogenic factors, like Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAS), that might be associated with this disorder. Our study aims to evaluate the role of VEGF and Angiotensin II (ANG II) in the development of early severe OHSS, in high risk patients under prophylactic Cabergoline therapy.
