Abstract

The paper discusses the possible mechanisms of liver damage as a consequence of the failing compensatory capacities of metabolic enzymatic systems in pregnant women exposed to high concentrations of endo- and exogenous sex hormones. It proposes measures to prevent this condition. Ursodeoxycholic acid preparations are shown to be highly effective and safe in normalizing laboratory markers for liver damage in the first half of pregnancy.
