We would like to thank Professor Cusi 1 for pointing out the omission of the important randomised controlled trial, 2 in which he and his colleagues have essentially confirmed and consolidated the proof for the effectiveness of pioglitazone in treating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). We agree with Professor Cusi that pioglitazone could be considered a valid and effective treatment option for patients with NASH, although effectiveness has to be weighed against the concerns about its long-term safety. We can only hope that our review 3 and his commentary on it will enhance awareness and raise the current limited acceptance of its use. 4
