| 1 | Increased thrombopoietin levels in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura patients with a poor response to steroid therapy. | Steroids | thrombopoietin | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | The TPO levels of the 15 ITP patients who had a poor response to steroid therapy (i.e. an unchanged platelet count) were higher than those of the 22 ITP patients who had a good response to steroid therapy (i.e. an increased platelet count) and the normal subjects. | Steroids | thrombopoietin | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | The TPO levels of the 15 ITP patients who had a poor response to steroid therapy (i.e. an unchanged platelet count) were higher than those of the 22 ITP patients who had a good response to steroid therapy (i.e. an increased platelet count) and the normal subjects. | Steroids | thrombopoietin | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | The TPO levels in the 15 ITP patients whose platelet count was higher than 10 x 10(4)/microl after the discontinuation of steroid therapy significantly higher than those of the normal subjects. | Steroids | thrombopoietin | Homo sapiens |
| 5 | The serum TPO level was negatively correlated only with the megakaryocyte count in the ITP patients, and the megakaryocyte count in the ITP patients who had good responses to the steroid therapy was higher than that in those who had poor responses. | Steroids | thrombopoietin | Homo sapiens |
| 6 | These data suggest that serum TPO levels might be important for the prediction of the outcome of ITP patients who receive steroid therapy. | Steroids | thrombopoietin | Homo sapiens |
