Molecular hydrogen alleviates nephrotoxicity induced by anti-cancer drug cisplatin without compromising anti-tumor activity in mice

Can Hydrogen Gas Help Reduce Kidney Damage from Cancer Treatment?

A Japanese study found that inhaling hydrogen gas may help reduce kidney damage caused by the cancer treatment cisplatin. The study, which used mice, showed that hydrogen gas has antioxidant properties that protect the kidneys. This discovery could lead to new treatments for humans and reduce the risk of kidney damage during cancer treatment.
