Hello,
AKT 4 is having rifampicin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide and isoniazid. Amongst these four drugs, rifampicin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide are hepatotoxic (damages liver). Main hepatotoxic effects reflect as raised Bilirubin and Liver enzymes (SGPT and SGOT).
Since, you are these reports are normal, no need to worry for AKT 4 induced hepatitis. Raised alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is seen with obstruction in biliary tract. So, it is better to get done ultrasound examination of abdomen to find out cause for raised ALP.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
