Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the effect of anti-tuberculosis drugs on liver function of patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) complicated with tuberculosis (TB).

Methods

Total of 60 patients with AIDS/TB hospitalized from April 2013 to August 2015 in our hospital were collected as the observation group, while 60 cases with TB were selected as the control group. Patients of both groups were treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs, and the indexes changes of liver function, liver function injury and adverse reactions after treatment were compared, respectively.

Results

The TBil and ALT levels of patients of both groups were with no significant differences before treatment (t = 0.952, P = 0.343; t = 0.608, P = 0.544). After treatment, the levels of TBil and ALT in patients of observation group were significantly higher than those of patients in control group (t = 10.110, P < 0.001; t = 26.098, P < 0.001). The proportion of liver damage of patients in observation group was 46.7%, which was significantly higher than that (21.7%) of the control group (χ2 = 8.336, P = 0.004). The period of liver function impairment of the observation group was significantly shorter than that of the control group, while the recovery period of liver function damage was significantly longer than that of the control group (t = 11.970, P < 0.001; t = 9.693, P < 0.001). The incidence of adverse reaction of patients in observation group was 20.0%, which was significantly higher than that (8.3%) of the control group (χ2 = 5.634, P < 0.001). The proportion of CD4+ T cells of patients with liver injury was (32.82 ± 4.67)%, and that of patients without liver damage was (39.66 ± 4.85)%, with significant difference (t = 7.419, P < 0.001).

Conclusions

During the course of anti-tuberculosis treatment, patients with AIDS/TB had a greater influence on liver function and were more likely to suffer from liver function damage.
