OBJECTIVE: To observe the prophylactic effect of hepatic protectants in the anti-TB treatment of acquired im-mund deficiency syndrome patients. METHODS: Cases from 2008 through 2013 with or without hepatic protectants were analysed to compare the changes in transaminase. RESULTS: Patients with hepatic protectants showed a 26.9% of rate of hepatic injury, while those without hepatic protectants showed a 37.9% of rate of hepatic injury. CONCLUSION: Prophylactic application of hepatic protectants can decrease the occurrence of hepatic injury during the anti-TB treatment of AIDS patients.
