- The study aimed to assess how acute pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and its treatment affect liver enzyme levels (AST, ALT, GGT) without liver toxicity.
- During the study of 40 adults with active PTB, only one participant experienced a mild adverse drug reaction while taking anti-TB medication.
- Significant changes were observed in liver enzyme levels, with GGT decreasing and AST/ALT increasing, indicating improvements in oxidative stress over the first two months of treatment.
