Ischemia-reperfusion injury in tissues lea-ving temporary or permanent damage patients’ health is closely related to the clinical situation. Free oxygen radicals plays an important role in the pathophysiology of ischemia-reperfusion injury. Hydroxyl ion is the most powerful free radical. Reducing hydrogen and hydroxyl ions selectively and with different tissue protective mechanisms makes preventive effect on ischa-emia-reperfusion injury. Today, hydrogen is a powerful antioxidant that is done much research on the tissue protective effect. This study evalua-ted the clinical reflection of hydrogen is used in urologic diseases and their effects on the future were discussed.
