This case report highlights the importance of monitoring blood parameters to prevent adverse medical conditions like acute kidney injury and hyponatremia during ultra-endurance running in older athletes.
Monitoring blood parameters may help prevent AKI and hyponatremia in older ultra-endurance runners; leaves open need for prospective studies.
Interest and participation in running as a sport are continuously increasing among runners, particularly those over the age of 35. Runners may encounter adverse medical conditions in races involving long distances, such as ultramarathons. Interactions between runners and their family physicians play a crucial role in maintaining runner health. This case presentation examines the blood tests conducted under the guidance of a family physician and the assessment of sports performance of a 62-year-old male runner during and after a 27-day running program. This case study aims to investigate adverse medical conditions that runners may face, including acute kidney injury and exercise-associated hyponatremia, along with strategies to safeguard runner health.
