Official Title: Renal Function Evaluation in an Ultra Endurance Race: On the Interest of Monitoring Specific Biomarkers to Asses Renal Risk.
Brief Summary:
During ultra endurance events, athletes experience extreme physical and mental demands, sometimes at the limits of the adaptive response to human physiology. This is particularly true for the renal function, and some evidence for acute renal failure has already been shown, sometimes leading to dialysis. However, the precise mechanisms involved in acute renal failure in such ultra endurance races are not clearly elucidated.
The aim of our study is to estimate glomerular filtration rate from serum and urinary creatinine and cystitin C at the beginning and at the end of a 110 km ultra endurance race. Our hypothesis is that during the ultra endurance race, renal function may be injured, with a risk for the athlete.
