Isoniazid metabolism and hepatotoxicity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Isoniazid (INH) is highly effective for the management of tuberculosis. However, it can cause liver injury and even liver failure. INH metabolism has been thought to be associated with INH-induced liver injury. This review summarized the metabolic pathways of INH and discussed their associations with INH-induced liver injury.

The aim of this study was to determine the association of n-acetyltransferase-2 polymorphisms and anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity in Iranian pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Acetylating phenotypes was studied in 50 Iranian pulmonary tuberculosis patients using metabolic ratio of plasma acetyl-Isoniazid to Isoniazid. The association between hepatotoxicity and the n-acetyltransferas...

متن کاملRole of CYP3A in isoniazid metabolism in vivo.
Isoniazid (INH), a first-line drug for tuberculosis control, frequently causes liver injury. Multiple previous reports suggest that CYP3A is involved in INH metabolism, bioactivation and hepatotoxicity, although direct evidence is unavailable. In the current study, wild-type and Cyp3a-null mice were used to determine the potential role of Cyp3a in INH metabolism in vivo. Compared to wild-type m...
متن کاملHepatotoxicity caused by the combined action of isoniazid and rifampicin.
A 35 year old black Somalian woman with miliary tuberculosis developed hepatotoxicity after a few days of treatment with isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. After withdrawal of all drugs the liver profile returned to normal and remained so after challenge with isoniazid. Hepatotoxicity recurred when rifampicin was added, but it was well tolerated when reintroduced without isoni...
متن کاملHepatotoxicity associated with isoniazid preventive therapy: a 7-year survey from a public health tuberculosis clinic.
CONTEXT Isoniazid preventive therapy for latent tuberculosis (TB) infection has been debated because of the risk of hepatotoxicity. The frequency of hepatotoxicity was 0.5% to 2.0% in early studies but may have changed with new criteria for diagnosis and patient selection. OBJECTIVE To determine the rate of isoniazid hepatotoxicity in patients managed according to current guidelines and pract...
