| Description | Exercise associated hyponatremia, rhabdomyolysis and renal failure appear to be a unique problem in ultra endurance racers. We investigated the combined occurrence of EAH and rhabdomyolysis in seven different ultra endurance races and disciplines. Two ultra runners from hyponatremic 13 ultra athletes and 4 ultra runners from the normonatremic group (n=100) showed maerker of rabdomyolysis. Hyponatremic ultra athletes tended to develop exercise induced rhabdomyolysis more frequently than normonatremic ultra thletes. Ultra runners tended to develop rhabdomyolysis more frequently than mountain bikers. We found no association between post race plasma Na and CK concentration in both hypo and normonatremic ultra athletes. |
