Kidney health study for ultrarunners
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how an ultra-endurance race affects your kidneys. By joining, you'll help researchers learn more about kidney function during extreme exercise, which could improve safety and training for athletes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are running the Western States Endurance Run in 2026, 2027, or 2028
- You are between 18 and 50 years old
- You have no skeletal muscle injuries in the last 3 months
- You are generally healthy with no known kidney disease
- You are not taking medications that affect kidney function (like diuretics) or have conditions affecting your heart or nervous system

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests how the body’s blood-pressure control responds to exercise in people with chronic kidney disease (and some transplant recipients), compared with people without kidney disease. It may help researchers learn safer ways to exercise and manage blood pressure for people with kidney disease.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help reduce toxins in the blood for people with chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome. Researchers will also look at blood markers to understand how exercise affects the body.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a medicine that reduces nerve signals (“sympatholysis”) is safe and how it affects people with chronic kidney disease. It may help researchers understand new ways to protect the kidneys, but the main goal here is safety.
This trial studies whether taking sodium bicarbonate changes “energy” in cells and improves metabolic acidosis (an acid build-up) in people with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease. You may be able to join if your kidney function and blood bicarbonate levels fit their targets and you meet safety rules.
This trial tests a method to protect kidneys in patients with severe injuries who show early signs of kidney stress. If you or a loved one had a serious accident and are at risk for kidney damage, this study may offer extra monitoring or treatment.
This study looks at how the kidneys work in both healthy people and those with reduced kidney function. Researchers want to understand kidney health better to help people in the future.
