Gender independent Monitoring of Hepatotoxicity with the help of Hepatic Aminotransferase Level as a Prognostic & Tolerance tool-DOTS Patients
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Aims & Objectives: To study the status of liver functions in patients of multidrug resistant tuberculosis. To asses the prevalence of hepatotoxicity in these patients. To compare and correlate this hepatotoxicity with possible culprit drug/combination and other associated factors. To study the hepatotoxicity of second line antitubercular drugs in patients receiving second line antitubercular drugs.. Material & Methods: This will be a prospective, clinical and epidemiological study of hepatotoxicity in patients of MDR tuberculosis. Consenting individuals will be chosen, cases will be consecutive patients attending various indoor and outdoor facilities of J.A. Group of Hospitals of Gajra Raja Medical College, Gwalior. Those patients who are on treatment with second line antitubercular drugs will be selected for study. Cases will undergo (1) Complete history(2) Clinical evaluation (3) Investigation for the diagnosis of the hepatotoxicity. All the relevant information will be recorded in a pre-designed proforma for the analysis of the result. Conclusion: It has been observed that the hepatotoxicity which is very common as well as fulminant in patients on treatment with first line antitubercular drugs has not been found even in a single patients second line antitubercular drug inspite of a very long duration of treatment compared to short term chemotherapy even though rifabutin, roxithromycin and azithromycin are known to have their toxic effects on liver.
