Patients with renal impairment are at increased risk of developing active tuberculosis due to immunosuppressive effects of renal failure and transplantation. Isoniazid is the most effective drug for preventing treatment failure as it diffuses rapidly, achieves high tissue concentrations, and can kill both actively multiplying and dormant tuberculosis bacteria. Combining isoniazid with other drugs is important to prevent the emergence of drug-resistant strains through their synergistic effects on inhibiting tuberculosis bacilli growth.
