Background:

Multi Drug Resistance Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment caused side effects such as hepatotoxicity and acute kidney injury (AKI).  Monitoring liver and kidney function in patients during treatment is crucial to prevent complication.

Methods: A retrospective study of 19 patients confirmed MDR-TB in the period 2022-2025. Liver function test (transaminase enzymes and bilirubin) and kidney function test (urea and creatinine) during the first three month of treatment were analyzed.

Results: Statistically, there was no difference in all parameters (p>0.05). Increases in total bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT levels occurred in the third month of TB treatment. While urea and creatinine levels increased in the second and third months.

Conclusion: Monitoring of liver and kidney function during MDR-TB treatment is necessary to monitor patient condition.
