Hydrogen: Potential Applications in Solid Organ Transplantation

Oxid Med Cell Longev. 2021 Nov 24:2021:6659310. doi: 10.1155/2021/6659310. eCollection 2021.

Abstract

Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) in organ transplantation has always been an important hotspot in organ protection. Hydrogen, as an antioxidant, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic effects. In this paper, the protective effect of hydrogen against IRI in organ transplantation has been reviewed to provide clues for future clinical studies.
