Depends on the number of factors. Its not always seen in ATT CAT 2. Rifampicin, pyrizenamide, and isoniazid are hepatoxic drugs. Get LFT done after taking ATT if you have symptoms of jaundice. Treatment can be modified if jaundice persists. Thanks.

3-4% in all patients having TB drugs. Avoid oil and regular LFT .
