Hemodialysis employing molecular hydrogen (H2)-enriched dialysis solution rendered by water electrolysis (E-HD), has been reported to alleviate dialysis-related fatigue, but its association with metabolic profiles remains unclear. Eighty-one patients undergoing standard HD were classified into 3 groups [Group A (n = 25, 30.9%): fatigue with activity reduction—subgroups A1: chronic persistent fatig

Background: Reportedly, dialysis solutions containing molecular hydrogen (H2) might ameliorate patient-reported fatigue in hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, it is unknown whether its impact might differ with different H2 levels.
Method: This single-arm, prospective observational study examined 105 patients on chronic HD (62 males; mean age, 66 years; mean HD duration, 117 months). All patients

Background: A novel hemodialysis (HD) system employing electrolyzed water containing molecular hydrogen (E-HD) has been developed to improve the bio-compatibility of HD. This study examined the impact of E-HD on changes in redox state during HD and HD-related fatigue.
Method: This single-arm, prospective observational study examined 63 patients on chronic HD (41 males; mean age, 72 ± 9 years; med

Background: Enhanced oxidative stress is involved with fatigue in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Molecular hydrogen (H2) could improve the redox status. Thus, the study examines whether HD solution rendered by electrolyzed water containing H2 (E-HD) could impact the fatigue and autonomic balance of patients.
Methods: This single-arm, prospective observational study examined 95 patients on chronic HD

Recent studies have revealed unique biological characteristics of molecular hydrogen (H2) as an anti-inflammatory agent. We developed a novel haemodialysis (E-HD) system delivering an H2 (30–80 ppb)-enriched dialysis solution by water electrolysis, and conducted a non-randomized, non-blinded, prospective observational study exploring its clinical impact. Prevalent chronic HD patients were allocate

Background and aim: It is supposed that enhanced oxidative stress and inflammation are involved with the poor clinical outcomes in patients on chronic dialysis treatment. Recent studies have shown that molecular hydrogen (H2) is biologically active as an anti-inflammatory agent. Thus, we developed a novel hemodialysis (E-HD) system which delivers H2 (30 to 80 ppb)-enriched dialysis solution, to co
