The time to identification of LFT was positively correlated with DILI, liver failure, and anti-TB drug resistance. The risk of DILI and liver failure was significantly increased in the late identification group with abnormal LFT identified after 8 weeks compared with 4 and 8 weeks. Early monitoring of LFT is recommended for patients without the high-risk factor of DILI after anti-TB treatment is initiated.
