Abstract
Purpose
We evaluated the incidence of acute kidney injury in a cohort of marathon participants.
Methods
We conducted a prospective observational study focused on evaluating the incidence of kidney damage after a marathon, and its evolution in the first 48 h after the marathon in 88 runners who completed the Valencia Marathon.
Results
From the 88 participants, 42 (48.28%) presented with acute kidney injury, mainly grade 1 (95.20%). Microscopic haematuria was observed in 29 runners (33%). Levels of interleukin 6, leukocytes, and neutrophils were markedly increased at the marathon's finish line.
Conclusions
Our results confirmed that there are slight transient changes in glomerular filtration rate and inflammatory activation after a marathon.
