Any progesterone only option is OK in any patient with any liver disease - for eg MIRENA


-> IUD are progesterone only

-> it is the estrogen that is tricky in patients with liver disease (eg in Budd chiari, decompensated liver disease, with hepatic adenomas) - Estrogen can cause coagulopathy, estrogen metabolism is affected in decompensated liver disease, and hepatic adenomas growth is promoted by estrogen (increase growth and rupture)
