| 1 | Clinical effectiveness and safety evaluation of long-term pioglitazone treatment for erythropoietin responsiveness and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic patients on hemodialysis. | Pioglitazone | erythropoietin | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | BACKGROUND: We aimed to assess the effect of long-term pioglitazone treatment on erythropoietin responsiveness and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic patients on hemodialysis. | Pioglitazone | erythropoietin | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | RESULTS: Pioglitazone effectively reduced erythropoietin dose and maintained the target hemoglobin levels by improving insulin resistance up to the end of the study. | Pioglitazone | erythropoietin | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | Erythropoietin responsiveness improved with a reduction in erythropoietin dose and may be associated with the improvement in insulin resistance due to long-term pioglitazone treatment. | Pioglitazone | erythropoietin | Homo sapiens |
