“… 1 2 Many factors contribute to the pathology of AKI including acute illness, complications of medications and medical procedures. 1 Recently, a few studies have reported the association with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), 3 4 5 and early investigations from China indicated that 25% of patients with COVID-19 in critical care have AKI. 6 AKI is one of the most severe complications of rhabdomyolysis (RM), which can cause internal environment disorders and damages to various organs due to the leakage of toxic muscle-cell contents including myoglobin, electrolytes, and other sarcoplasmic proteins (e.g., creatinine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase) into the systemic circulation.…”

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the major complication of rhabdomyolysis (RM) clinically, which is usually mimicked by glycerol injection in basic research. Oxidative stress, inflammatory response and apoptosis are recognized to play important roles in development of this disease. Recently, numerous studies have reported the therapeutic effects of molecular hydrogen (H 2 ) on oxidative stress and inflammation-related diseases. Here, the effects of H 2 against glycerol-induced AKI and the underlying mechanisms were explored in rats. Low (4%) and high (67%) concentrations of H 2 were prepared using a self-made device to investigate the dose-response. After 72 hours of glycerol injection (8 mL/kg), we found that glycerol triggered oxidative stress, inflammatory reactions, and apoptotic events. These caused subsequent renal damage, evidenced by a significant reduction of antioxidases and up-regulation of the relevant damaged biomarkers. H 2 inhalation reversed the above alterations and exerted renoprotective effects. Interestingly, for RM/AKI-related factors, no consistent dose-response benefits of H 2 were observed. However, higher concentration of H 2 inhalation improved histological and morphological changes better. This study suggests that H 2 is a potential alternative therapy to prevent or minimize RM induced AKI possibly via its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic and anti-necroptotic properties.
