Several renal function modifications can be related to sports activity, as pre-existing renal dysfunction can influence the assessment of sports practice capability.

Previous nephrectomy or chronic renal failure are conditions that complicate the sport exercise fitness assessment and every patient should be assessed individually by a multidisciplinary medical team.
