RESUMO
When therapy with hepatotoxic drugs is being considered, all other possible contributing agents of liver damage should be held to account. While not generally considered a risk factor, we present 2 cases in which ketogenic diet (KD) may have played a role in liver injury due to antituberculosis drugs. Ketogenic diet has been linked to liver injury, and while its pathophysiology remains obscure, carnitine depletion could play a role, as it is a mechanism of liver damage common to KD and antituberculosis drug regimens.
