Animal StudyDissolved molecular hydrogen (H2) in Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) solutions preserves mesothelial cells and peritoneal membrane integrityMHID-5925679PMID: 290890292017BMC NephrologyMasaaki Nakayama, Wan-Jun Zhu, Kimio Watanabe, Ayano Gibo, Ali M. Sherif, Shigeru Kabayama, et al.Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is used as renal replacement therapy in patients with end-stage kidney disease. However, peritoneal membrane failure remains problematic and constitutes a critical cause of PD discontinuation. Recent studies have revealed the unique biological action of molecular hydrogen (H2) as an antioxidant, which ameliorates tissue injury. In the present study, we aimed to
