This study comparing 4‐month rifampin with 9‐month isoniazid for latent tuberculosis in kidney transplant candidates showed higher treatment completion rates and no transaminase elevations in the rifampin group. However, some patients experienced an increase in blood pressure while taking antihypertensive medications known to interact with rifampin ...
