In a study published in the November issue of the American Journal of Sports Medicine, in 134 marathoner finishers lab tests were done pre- and post-race to look at kidney function Thirteen percent of runners had taken an NSAID ("non-steroidal anti-inflammatory") in the 24 hours prior to the race. The values for serum creatinine (P = 0.03) and serum potassium (P = 0.007) concentrations were significantly higher in runners who had taken an NSAID. No athlete who had taken an NSAID had a post-race serum creatinine concentration less than 0.09 mmol/L Conclusion: Consumption of NSAIDs in the 24 hours prior to distance running was associated with altered renal function.
