[Morphological and clinical liver changes after taking oral contraceptives]. 1979

K Mölleken, and E Stahl, and G Bretzke

In 155 women of the age group 16-45 years after intake of oral contraceptives in 68.4% (106 cases) histologically provable liver changes were found. Sinusoidal ectasias of different size and drug-conditioned hepatitides most frequently occurred. An isolated intrahepatic cholestase only rarely existed. Increases of transaminase are the most frequent reference to a lesion of the liver parenchyma after intake of oral contraceptives. The author adopts a definite attitude to the differential diagnosis and its difficulties between a drug-conditioned hepatitis and the usual virus hepatitis.
