title: [Frequency, diagnosis, and course of hepatotoxic side effects of Rifampicin (author's transl)].
abstract: In a retrospective study the following was found: Out of 111 patients suffering from tuberculosis and receiving a combined INH-therapy without Rifampicin 23% showed an increase of serum-transmainase activities, on the other hand out of 105 patients, treated with a combination including Rifampicin 74% did so. A pathological De Ritis ratio GOT/GPT was found in 31 among 59 comparable cases of Rifampicin-treated patients, and a pathological ratio GOT + GPT/AP in 22 among 37 cases before the transaminase-activities rose above normal. Development of a distinct toxic hepatic damage has to be anticipated in those cases, which show a De Ritis ratio below 0,5 or a GOT + GPT/AP ratio above 1,0 while transaminase-activity still is only slightly elevated. Liver biopsies taken from 10 patients showed no regular relation to the biochemical data.
