Hello, Thanks for using Health care magic . I had gone through all the details posted.

many details about your current problem are missing in the question.

AKT 4 is for Tuberculosis. But where is the site of infection in you.

you could have told us about the entire LFT report. only by taking a look at bilirubin which is slightly high we cannot tell anything abt status of your liver.

so kindly mention your total details like where is the site of infection tuberculosis and upload full LFT report.

we do LFT periodically to monitor side effects of anti TB drugs. as if there is problem with LFT we may decide to change the medications if required

Hope this helps..
