Abstract
In this study, it was evaluated whether there is an interaction between Far Infrared radiation and HO-1 in regulating vascular inflammation.

Conclusions:
These results demonstrate that Far Infrared (FIR) therapy exerts a potent anti-inflammatory effect via the induction of HO-1. The ability of Far Infrared (FIR) therapy to inhibit inflammation may play a critical role in preserving blood flow and patency of AVFs in haemodialysis patients.
