RESUMEN
Norethisterone, a commonly used oral contraceptive, and treatment for various gynecological disorders such as menorrhagia, abnormal uterine bleeding, and breast cancer, has been associated with multiple liver injuries. These injuries can manifest as hepatitis or cholestatic types of injury, benign neoplasms, peliosis hepatis, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, and enlargement of existing hemangiomas. This report presents three cases in which liver enzyme levels were elevated due to norethisterone intake. Two of the cases were individuals undergoing evaluation as potential kidney donors in the nephrology department for their spouses, while the third case involved a patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage-5 on maintenance hemodialysis. Regular follow-up of these patients, particularly due to the significance of two being kidney donors and one having advanced CKD, allowed for early detection of asymptomatic liver enzyme elevation and prompt discontinuation of norethisterone. Prescribing norethisterone is common in gynecological settings, including ours. To assess gynecologists' knowledge regarding norethisterone-related side effects, we conducted an online survey, the results of which are discussed in this report.
