الإجابة: C. Pyrazinamide
Pyrazinamide reduces renal urate excretion, causing hyperuricemia and gout flares, so uric acid is checked before and during treatment. Isoniazid causes peripheral neuropathy (B6 deficiency) and hepatitis, rifampicin causes orange body fluids and hepatotoxicity, and ethambutol causes optic neuritis/colour blindness.
