Hi,

Pyrazinamide can definitely cause severe liver injury, which may even be fatal sometimes. Though with pyrazinamide, the duration of treatment for TB is shortened, but your doctor might have stopped it taking into consideration benefits vs risks. Raised SGOT and SGPT levels may denote its ill effect on the liver.

Your doctor may want to re-assess your condition and that is the reason, he has called you again after LFT (Perhaps not KFT, as you have written). If your condition permits, he may consider to restart your pyrazinamide or may re-evaluate your treatment plan.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
