NAT2 Acetylation Status Predicts Hepatotoxicity During Antituberculosis Therapy: Cumulative Risk Analysis of a Multiethnic Cohort
19 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
Antituberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) is a common adverse drug reaction often requiring treatment interruption, complicating tuberculosis management. The slow acetylator phenotype, characterized by reduced N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) enzyme activity, is associated with increased hepatotoxicity risk, while rapid acetylators are associated with a higher risk of therapeutic failure. This study...
