Hyponatremia in the 2009 161-km Western States Endurance Run
Purpose: To determine the incidence of exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH), the associated biochemical measurements and risk factors for EAH, and whether there is an association between postrace blood sodium concentration ([Na+]) and changes in body mass among participants in the 2009 Western States Endurance Run, a 161-km mountain trail run. Methods: Change in body mass, postrace [Na+], and blood creatine phos- phokinase (CPK) concentration, and selected runner characteristics were evaluated among consenting competi- tors. Results: Of the 47 study participants, 14 (30%) had EAH as defined by a postrace [Na+].
