Disse forøgelser kan delvist skyldes kompetitiv hæmning af galdesaltelimineringen fra hepatocytter, men andre mekanismer, som ikke er blevet helt fastlagt, er sandsynligvis ligeledes involveret i forekomsten af leverdysfunktion.
These increases may be partly due to competitive inhibition of the elimination of bile salts from hepatocytes but other mechanisms, which have not been clearly established, are probably also involved in the occurrence of liver dysfunction.
