Abstract

The indiscriminate use of dietary supplements has been causing several problems, increasingly worrying the target population and arousing the interest of health professionals to evaluate renal function. The loss of renal function is not a rapid process, currently used in clinical practice, biochemical markers capable of enabling a therapeutic intervention. The objective of this study was to evaluate renal function in a group of physical education students who use dietary supplementation and a non-habit group, with the purpose of quantifying urea and creatinine in the blood serum by performing an estimation of the creatinine clearance by the Cockcroft and Gault formula and simplified MDRD. It was identified that the male and female individuals who use food supplementation and alcohol intake carry risk factors added to the development of renal diseases. In this study, laboratory tests were altered in all study groups, and it was not possible to associate alterations in renal function in students who use dietary supplementation
