Abstract: Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by mycobacterium and is one of the serious infectious diseases harmful to human health. Anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) draws more attention in the treatment of tuberculosis recently. It is worthy of summarizing the detailed mechanism about ATDH which is still not clear today. It is known to us that anti-tuberculosis drugs are formed less toxic metabolite in vivo by various metabolic enzymes and transporters, and the polymorphisms of transporters and enzymes are likely to be the important factors associated with ATDH. This paper provides an overview about the correlation between drug metabolic enzymes polymorphisms and ATDH.

Key words: ATDH, anti-tuberculosis drug, drug metabolic enzymes, drug transporters, polymorphism
