Possible clinical effects of molecular hydrogen (H2) delivery during hemodialysis in chronic dialysis patients…
Recent clinical studies have shown that molecular hydrogen is biologically active as an anti-inflammatory agent among chronic dialysis treatment and powerful oxidative stress. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
Hydrogen Alleviates Renal injury through reducing Iron overload
Iron-induced oxidative stress has been found to be a central player in the pathogenesis of kidney injury. Recent studies have indicated H₂ can be used as a novel antioxidant to protect cells. In conclusion, hydrogen may attenuate CIH-induced renal injury at least partially via inhibiting renal iron overload. (Department of Physiology, Hebei University of Chinese Medicine)
Therapeutic effects of hydrogen gas on kidney transplant after effect
The incidence of chronic graft‐versus‐host disease (cGVHD) is rising recent years, which has been the leading cause of mortality post transplantation. The study shows that molecular hydrogen has anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, anti‐fibrosis effects.
Novel therapy for acute kidney damage and myocardial infarction: Hydrogen Gas
It has been reported that hydrogen gas exerts a therapeutic effect in a wide range of disease conditions, from acute illness such as ischemia–reperfusion injury, shock, and damage healing to chronic illness such as metabolic syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegenerative diseases. Studies also suggest possible therapeutic effects of hydrogen gas in aspects of emergency and critical care medicine, such as acute myocardial infarction, cardiopulmonary arrest syndrome, contrast-induced acute kidney injury and hemorrhagic shock.

Hydrogen molecules (H2) improve perfusion recovery via antioxidant effects in peripheral arterial disease
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) impair neovascularization and perfusion recovery following limb ischemia in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Hydrogen molecules (H2) comprise an antioxidant gas that has been reported to neutralize cytotoxic ROS. H2 gas increases angiogenesis and arteriogenesis and subsequently improves perfusion recovery in a mouse PAD model via reduction of ROS levels.
