Successful therapy of tuberculosis in hemodialysis patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND/AIMS:Thiazolidinediones (TZD) are ligands known to bind to and activate the nuclear peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), and are currently used as insulin sensitizers in type 2 diabetes. Recently, several studies have shown that TZD may have a role in renal protection in various expe...
