The dynamics of changes in the studied biochemical parameters was multidirectional in the main and control groups. According to pregnancy outcomes, statistically significant differences between the groups were not found. Conclusions. Critical abnormalities of the main biochemical parameters in pregnant women of the main group were not detected. Preparations of the gestagen series in appropriate dosages do not significantly affect the main indicators of the hepatobiliary system and pregnancy outcomes, so their use is permissible under the control of laboratory parameters.
