Cycling and Kidney Failure? Problem with Drinking Too Much Water? Asking a Nephrologist Cyclist

Kidneys are one of the important organs that helps in body regulation and it is exceptionally important when it comes to cycling, or any kind of endurance sport
Does cycling cause kidney failure? Why is rhabdomyolysis always associated with spinning/cycling? how do we properly hydrate ourselves while riding? drinking too little water and too much water both are causing problems. can patients having kidney failure take up cycling? can people having single kidney take up cycling?
I Interviewed a nephrologist, Dr Thye Yuen Lin, who is also a cyclist, to answer the questions.
骑行会导致肾功能衰竭吗？缺水和过分补水都能导致相当严重的后遗症。为什么总是听说横纹肌溶解症和骑车有关系？患有肾衰竭的患者可以骑车吗？只有一颗肾脏的人可以骑车吗？

今天在caltex 遇到你 🤪, 真人靓过上镜

[@terrarides]

谢谢下次跟我打声招呼嘛

[@andytan2333]

Thanks for doing this! Hoping to see more of these ❤. I too pop the electrolyte tab in my bottle as I have been told that can prevent muscle cramps, but it has little effect on me. I am trying magnesium tabs and rubbing perskindol cool gel on my thigh and calf muscles before each ride, so far it seems to help. Got to manage it and be mindful on energy output every ride.

[@terrarides]

Glad that you enjoyed my work. Yes my channel's focuses are cycling vlogs and medical content interviews with professionals. More to come so stay tuned ;)

[@roborovski008]

cheaper option would be get a bottle of ribena (concentrated), then mix it with water according to the sweetness of your liking and add one/two pinch of sea salt.

[@terrarides]

haha dr thye told me she makes her own electrolyte drink too by blending orange and adding salt. whichever suit us as long as we know we are getting sufficient electrolytes for our rides. knowledge is power! 💪

[@silivia80]

Is coconut water better than isotonic / or adding sea salts?

[@DrChanIMH]

Does low sodium level lead to cardiac arrest?

[@terrarides]

Sodium is important for muscle function. So having too low sodium can affect muscle including cardiac muscle. Talk to your cardiologist if you have concerns about this. 🙏🏻

[@ermasharima4460]

Hai,nak tanyakan..kalau first time cycling bole buat berapa lama?

[@terrarides]

Hi, it really depends on how well you can tolerate. before i pick up cycling, i was rather active and sporty but i could only do 15km-20km on my very first ride. it really depends on your fitness level. would advise you to go with a friend whom you can trust and cycle in places that are safe to do rounds or laps - like in your neighbourhood.

[@ermasharima4460]

@@terrarides thank you!selalunya org first time ni excited dia over..lps tu esok tak bole bangun sebab kaki sakit bahu sakit..tq terra 👍
