Abstract
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a noteworthy worldwide medical issue even though the causative living being was found over 120 years prior and profoundly compelling medications and antibody are accessible making TB a preventable and treatable malady. India is the most astounding TB load nation on the planet. It represents almost one-fifth of the worldwide weight of TB. Consistently, all-inclusive around 18 lakh people create TB, of which around 8 lakh are new smear constructive very irresistible cases and about 4.17 lakh individuals pass on of TB; consistently, two people kick the bucket each 3 min and around 1000 individuals pass on consistently. Methodology: Patients liver function will be assessed by measuring serum bilirubin, serum alkaline phosphatase (SAP), serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), serum proteins, and prothrombin time. Results: Out of 50 patients on anti-TB treatment, four patients had increased serum bilirubin, SGOT, and SGPT. All these four patients are chronic alcoholic. Conclusion: The management of drug-induced liver disease and active TB in these patients is difficult and the hepatotoxicity of anti-TB drugs is enhanced in transplant patients.
