Physical exercise has been shown to act as a buffering tool for possible physiological damage, reducing renal inflammation (reducing kidney size and weight) and improving glomerular filtration levels [
]. We seek to determine the renal profile in athletes of the IPD ‐ Trujillo Subsidiary. The sample was men and women of 21.8 years of average age: 328 athletes (11 sports disciplines) and 80 non‐athletes. In the results we found a lower percentage of hyperglycemia in athletes ~ 4.5% compared to non‐athletes ~ 17.5%. No cases of high glycosylated hemoglobin were found in athletes, but in non‐athletes (~ 5%). In the evaluation of the renal profile, the powerlifters presented the highest percentage of elevated serum creatinine (~ 25%), while in rugby no case was reported. The general urea and creatine averages were lower in athletes (2.3% and 7% respectively) than in non‐athletes (12.5 and 17.5 respectively). In the urine evaluation, the cases of infection were similar (p> 0.05) 20.2% in athletes and 25% in non‐athletes. The consumption of dietary supplements is common in both athletes and non‐athletes, the abuse of protein supplements has an adverse effect on renal function [
]. In conclusion, athletes show more stable glycemia, also most sports disciplines have a better renal profile.
