Brief Answer:
Do not STOP tb treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.
Firstly I would request you not to stop medicines at any cost. It can be dangerous and lead to serious form of MDR tuberculosis. The elevation of liver enzymes is not considered abnormal unless elevated five times the upper limit to stop treatment. So in your case it is not as high to be of so much concern. You must not worry and continue the treatment. The liver enzymes will return to normal after treatment. Take liver tonics and eat sweet food. Drink plenty of water and take juices. Stay in follow up. I assure you not to worry as this is common in most of the patients.
Hope I answered your query
