“…ENG-releasing implants have been associated with a non-significant slight decrease in AST and ALT among HIV-negative women [21]. Increased total bilirubin level secondary to increased levels of indirect bilirubin has already been shown in ENG implant users [21,22]. However, all the changes in liver markers reported in this study and in previous studies remained within their normal limits.…”

“…The effects of the ENG-releasing implant on liver function have been previously studied outside the puerperium, and no clinically significant hepatic changes were observed during three years of medication use. 9,11,17 Similarly, in the present investigation, although a greater increase in AST levels was observed in the ENG group during the first six weeks of the study, these levels remained within normal limits in all women, and no hepatic markers differed between the groups. A randomized study comparing 80 users of the ENG-releasing implant with users of the levonorgestrel (LNG)-releasing implant found elevations in TB, DB, and γ-GT levels compared with preinsertion levels among users of the ENG-releasing implant, although the values were within normal limits.…”

“…Previous studies have not shown any adverse effects in renal or hepatic function in users of this implant inserted after the postpartum period. [9][10][11] However, the present study was the first to assess the safety (measured by renal and hepatic markers) of early insertion of this implant before discharge from hospital after childbirth.…”

“…In Brazil, there is the etonogestrel-releasing implant (Implanon®, NV Organon, Oss, The Netherlands). In the haemostatic variables examined, there was either no change or very small changes, always within normal values for the tests done [26][27][28][29] .…”
