Abstract

Several changes in physiological characteristics occur during long-distance and 24-hour ultramarathons, including hyponatremia, skeletal muscle breakdown, plasma volume changes, iron depletion, anemia, and possible hepatic damage. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier status on liver function during multi-day races. This prospective study recruited 10 Taiwanese runners who were scheduled to participate in the 7-day 2008 Athens Ultramarathon Festival Race, and three of them were chronic carriers of HBV. Blood samples were collected before, during, and 3 days after the race, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), albumin (ALB), total protein (TP) levels, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin (T-BIL) RESULTS: Ten Taiwanese runners (40% female; average age 52.3 ± 7.9 years) who all planned to run in the race were recruited. Three runners were chronic carriers of HBV (HBV carrier), and all participants were anti-HCV antibody-negative and anti-hepatitis A virus (HAV) IgG-positive. There were no significant time-by-group effects on ALP, ALB, and TP levels, but the change over time effects were significant (p < 0.001, p = 0.001 and p = 0...Continue Reading
