Abstract

Acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease impose substantial burdens on healthcare systems worldwide. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has emerged as a potential therapy due to its selective antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic properties. The present study reviews evidence on H₂-based renal interventions, examining therapeutic mechanisms, bibliometric trends, and existing research gaps based on data analytics. This scoping review integrates quantitative bibliometric analysis with qualitative thematic synthesis. This integration, uncommon in conventional scoping reviews, reveals important gaps. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, 69 publications were identified through Scopus and Web of Science. These publications mostly originated from Asia, particularly China and Japan, with clear peaks of activity in 2019 and 2024, but international collaboration remains limited. H₂ consistently demonstrated protective effects against apoptosis, fibrosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress across acute kidney injury, nephrotoxicity, transplantation, and early chronic kidney disease models. Our findings suggest that hydrogen therapy holds promise for renoprotection in both acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Nonetheless, more robust clinical trials and standardized research methodologies are imperative to facilitate its broader adoption into clinical nephrology practice.

分子氢和肾脏疾病:基于科学计量学和数据分析的范围综述。
急性肾损伤和慢性肾脏疾病给全世界的卫生保健系统带来了巨大的负担。分子氢(H2)由于其选择性抗氧化、抗炎和抗细胞凋亡的特性而成为一种潜在的治疗方法。本研究回顾了基于H₂的肾脏干预的证据,检查了治疗机制,文献计量学趋势,以及基于数据分析的现有研究差距。这个范围审查整合了定量文献计量分析与定性专题综合。这种集成在传统的范围界定审查中并不常见,它揭示了重要的差距。根据系统评价的首选报告项目和范围界定评价的元分析扩展(PRISMA-ScR)指南,通过Scopus和Web of Science确定了69篇出版物。这些出版物主要来自亚洲,尤其是中国和日本,在2019年和2024年达到了明显的高峰,但国际合作仍然有限。在急性肾损伤、肾毒性、移植和早期慢性肾病模型中,H₂一致显示出对细胞凋亡、纤维化、炎症和氧化应激的保护作用。我们的研究结果表明,氢疗法在急性肾损伤和慢性肾脏疾病中都有保护肾的希望。尽管如此,为了促进其更广泛地应用于临床肾脏病实践,更强大的临床试验和标准化的研究方法是必不可少的。

期刊介绍: Medical Gas Research is an open access journal which publishes basic, translational, and clinical research focusing on the neurobiology as well as multidisciplinary aspects of medical gas research and their applications to related disorders. The journal covers all areas of medical gas research, but also has several special sections. Authors can submit directly to these sections, whose peer-review process is overseen by our distinguished Section Editors: Inert gases - Edited by Xuejun Sun and Mark Coburn, Gasotransmitters - Edited by Atsunori Nakao and John Calvert, Oxygen and diving medicine - Edited by Daniel Rossignol and Ke Jian Liu, Anesthetic gases - Edited by Richard Applegate and Zhongcong Xie, Medical gas in other fields of biology - Edited by John Zhang. Medical gas is a large family including oxygen, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, xenon, hydrogen sulfide, nitrous oxide, carbon disulfide, argon, helium and other noble gases. These medical gases are used in multiple fields of clinical practice and basic science research including anesthesiology, hyperbaric oxygen medicine, diving medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, surgery, and many basic sciences disciplines such as physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, microbiology and neurosciences. Due to the unique nature of medical gas practice, Medical Gas Research will serve as an information platform for educational and technological advances in the field of medical gas.
