Abstract

The renal system, especially its primary organ, the kidney, plays an essential role in protecting body homeostasis. Acute exercise creates stress on the body and disrupts homeostasis. On the other hand, chronic exercise can cause the body to develop beneficial adaptations in the renal system as well as other parts of the body. Therefore, it is essential and necessary to analyze the renal response to exercise so that the safety limit and the profitable outcomes can be understood in both healthy individuals and renal failure patients. In this section, the renal system and its adaptation to exercise and fluid balance will be explained.
