Postexercise proteinuria in rowers.
Exercise performance, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and urinary filtration of proteins during static pool rowing and cycling to exhaustion were studied in trained rowers. The peak VO2 and heart rate were higher during rowing than during cycling. There was a reduction in plasma volume and an increase in lactate concentration after exercise; however, no significant difference was noted between rowing and cycling in either case. Postexercise proteinuria was increased 8 and 11 times, and albuminuria 25 and 20 times after rowing and cycling exercises, respectively. There was no difference between these exercises in terms of protein or albumin excretion. There was no change in postexercise GFR. Albumin clearance was increased 18 and 20 fold after rowing and cycling, respectively. A significant, but low correlation, r = 0.56, was noted between albumin excretion and postexercise blood lactate concentration. Thus, no difference in the effect on kidney response was found between static pool rowing and cycling to exhaustion in these athletes.
