Abstract：The reinfusion of autologous ascites is the operational process under very sterile as draining ascites from body, filtering out water, electrolyte, urea nitrogen, and so on, concentrating proteins and other macromolecular substances, and then infusing back into body. It has been widely used for treating intractable ascites of cirrhosis and malignant ascites as a way of albumin reuse. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), a symptom occurring mainly in ovulation induction, is characterized by the bilateral ovarian enlargement, high vascular estrogen, ascites, electrolyte imbalance and oliguria. Serious OHSS may be accompanied by hepatic or/and renal failure, thromboembolism, or even death. Ascites is a common symptom of moderate or severe OHSS. Besides proteins and metabolic wastes, there are hormones and inflammatory factors in OHSS ascites, which means that infusing directly OHSS ascites may induce the conditional aggravation. The autologous reinfusion of OHSS ascites is rarely used at present. The application of autologous reinfusion of OHSS ascites was reviewed in this paper.
