The goal of this study is to determine if ibuprofen prior to exercise in the heat worsens biomarkers of acute kidney injury. Participants were given 600mg of ibuprofen or placebo (corn starch) 12- and 1-hour prior to running for 1-hour in a hot environment (35°C) at moderate intensity. Urine, plasma, and serum samples were collected pre-, post-, and 1hour post-exercise to assess biomarkers of acute kidney injury. This was a double blind, randomized crossover design, so that participants completed the alternate trial (ibuprofen or placebo) at least seven days later.

Biomarker of Acute Kidney Injury Risk from Ibuprofen Ingestion Prior to Exercise in the Heat (IGFBP7xTIMP2)
The product of urinary IGFBP7 and urinary TIMP2 (IGFBP7xTIMP2) will be measured at all time points.
Time frame: Change in urinary IGFBP7xTIMP2 pre-exercise and 1 hour post-exercise.
Biomarker of Acute Kidney Injury Risk from Ibuprofen Ingestion Prior to Exercise in the Heat (Urinary NGAL)
Urinary NGAL will be measured at all time points.
Time frame: Change in urinary NGAL pre-exercise and peak post-exercise.
Biomarker of glomerular filtration rate from Ibuprofen Ingestion Prior to Exercise in the Heat (Serum cystatin C)
Serum cystatin C will be measured at all time points.
Time frame: Change in serum cystatin C pre-exercise and 1 hour post-exercise.
