My father aged 68, some 8 months back was diagnosed for Spine TB and he started on AKT4 for 2 months, AKT3 for the next month but had to stop due to vision loss and following 5 months was taking Rifampicin and Isoniazid. His vision is almost back with some eye power complaint. Recent blood report shows hemoglobin at 11.5. He has recently started to complaint about burning sensation while peeing and frequent urination. His Blood urea, BUN is high and so is creatinine = 1.77. I consulted general medicine doctor and put him on nefrolex for 5 days and then redo the KFT. However, after taking this medicine he was complaining of back pain, joint pain, fever, mouth rash, loose stool and high glucose reading.

He was at 99/153 before and is reporting 145/225 now. We have eliminated almost all carbs barring greens, salad and increased protein to prevent any ill effects. He is taking gliclazide for sugar control. FYI.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, tb infection should have been cured by your mentioned drug courses.
Sometimes lymph nodes calcify and don't reduce in size or number, so if you want to know if you are suffering from active tb infection, kindly undergo gene-expert or cbnaat test.
A positive gene-expert or cbnaat test, will require treatment and if negative, you can leave the lymph nodes as they are.
Wishing you good health.

your fever is almost under controll means medicine has started working. If you show good response to treatment why go for vsensitivity test, if no response to above drugs then next step will be taken, take above medicine with a single day miss and take good nutritious diet with milk, egg, fruits and vegetables good luck.
