Evaluation of liver function and lipid metabolism following Norplant-2 rods removal
Tóm tắt
The effect of Norplant-2R rods on liver function and lipid metabolism was evaluated in 100 Singaporean women. As with the Norplant six-capsule, the only change noted in liver function was that of a significantly elevated bilirubin, which was within the normal clinical range for the local population. As regards lipid metabolism, the mean values for total triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol seen at the end of five years of Norplant-2 rod use and six months postremoval were similar to the preinsertion mean. As a result, the HDL-cholesterol/total-cholesterol-HDL-chlesterol and LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio remained fairly constant. This indicates that the use of Norplant-2 rods does not directly contribute to cardiovascular risk.
