I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with some serious liver issues after starting my TB treatment. It all began with a fever right from the first dose, and even though I stopped the medication 12 days ago, the fever hasn't gone away. I'm worried about hepatotoxicity and what this means for my treatment. Do I really need to stop the TB meds completely? And if my liver's already damaged, how do I go about healing it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

yes you should stop that particular drug. If you stop the drug ,your liver will automatically get cured

So, I've noticed my face is getting darker or turning black, and I'm kind of worried. I've been diagnosed with PBC and have been on medication for liver function and taking vitamin tablets for about a month now. Could this change in my skin color be related to the meds or my liver issue? What might be causing this?

Darkening of your face could be related to changes in liver function due to primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), as it can affect skin pigmentation. Medications or vitamin imbalances might also play a role. I recommend discussing this with your doctor to adjust your treatment if needed.

I'm worried because my SGPT levels are high and I've been taking medication like Cirrosam 400, Obeticholic acid, Ursocol 300, and Evion for the past two months. The only one that seems to help is the Obeticholic acid. Interestingly, my lipid profile is normal and I've tested negative for Hepatitis B and C. My blood sugar levels are also within the normal range. On top of this, I've been dealing with hyperuricemia. Can you tell me how long it might take for my SGPT levels to get back to normal?
