Detection of Isoniazid Induced Hepatitis after 12 Weeks and Its Management
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Hepatotoxicity is a common complication of anti-tuberculosis therapy ranging in severity fromasymptomatic elevation of hepatic transaminases to hepatic failure necessitating liver transplantation. Thistoxicity is caused by most anti-tuberculosis drugs but appears to represent an idiosyncratic response and isusually seen in the first six weeks of starting anti-tuberculosis treatment (ATT) mainly due toIsoniazid(INH) and Rifampicin. The hepatotoxicity seen after twelve weeks is majorly due to Pyrazinamide.However sometimes Isoniazid can be an offending agent after 12 weeks.
