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 Nephrotoxicity is a common adverse effect of many chemotherapeutic agents and represents a major dose- limiting factor in cancer treatment. Therefore, developing effective renoprotective strategies is urgently needed. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has emerged as a therapeutic agent with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, selectively scavenging hydroxyl radicals and alleviati

The aim of the review was to examine the main characteristics of hydrogen ion metabolism and its hemostatic function in the human body. For diagnostic purposes, molecular hydrogen (H2) is considered a biological marker. The results of the analysis of therapeutic programs for the clinical use of hydrogen are presented. The use of H2 as a drug in the treatment of more than 170 diseases is also discu

Gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity primarily results from renal inflammatory cascades and increased oxidative stress. This study aims to examine the effects of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on gentamicin-induced renal damage in rats. Thirty-two rats were equally divided into four groups, including control (no treatment), hydrogen, gentamicin, and gentamicin+hydrogen. At the end of one week, all animals

Hydrogen is a simple, colorless, and biologically active small molecule gas that can react with reactive oxygen species. Recent research suggests that hydrogen possesses several biological effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects, while exhibiting an extremely high level of safety. Hydrogen application has shown promise in treating a range of acute and chronic

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic condition characterized by recurrent upper airway collapse during sleep, leading to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) that can cause oxidative stress and chronic inflammation that lead to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment is the gold standard for OSA treatment, it has little or no benefit in reduc

As diabetes rates surge globally, there is a corresponding rise in the number of patients suffering from diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a common complication of diabetes. DKD is a significant contributor to chronic kidney disease, often leading to end-stage renal failure. However, the effectiveness of current medical treatments for DKD leaves much to be desired. Molecular hydrogen (H2) is an antio

Background: Cancer remains a challenging target to cure, with present therapeutic methods unable to exhibit restorative outcomes without causing severe negative effects. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been reported to be a promising adjunctive therapy for cancer treatment, having the capability to induce anti-proliferative, anti-oxidative, pro-apoptotic and anti-tumoural effects.

Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) is a common postoperative complication, mostly due to increasing oxidative stress. Recently, molecular hydrogen (H2 gas), has also been applied to cardiac surgery due to its ability to reduce oxidative stress.

Diabetes is coupled with hyperglycemia, a state in which elevated glucose levels trigger oxidative stress (OS) in various body functions. One of the organs most afflicted by diabetes is the kidney. Despite this, specific treatments to mitigate the harmful effects of hyperglycemia-induced OS in the kidney have not been extensively explored. This study evaluates the anti-hyperglycemic efficacy of magne

Background: Acute kidney injury and its central pathology, renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI), have been studied in many animal models. Although renal IRI has been induced in pig models in many ways, simultaneous bilateral ischemia or unilateral ischemia along with contralateral nephrectomy models only provide data on the renal response to a single ischemia time.
