Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She has tuberculosis and liver inflammation. She should go for complete liver function test including baseline SGPT level and ultrasound study before starting anti tuberculous treatment. Because mostbof drugs in anti tuberculous treatment are hepatototoxic and damage the liver. So she should plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
