We tested the hypothesis that compliance with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) heat stress recommendations will prevent reductions in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) across a range of wet bulb globe temperatures (WBGTs) and work-rest ratios at a fixed work intensity. We also tested the hypothesis that non-compliance would result in a reduction in GFR compared to a work-rest matched compliant trial. Twelve healthy adults completed five trials (four NIOSH compliant, one non-compliant) that consisted of four hours of exposure to a range of WBGTs. Subjects walked on a treadmill (Hprod: ~430 W) and work-rest ratios (work per hour: 60, 45, 30, 15 min) were prescribed as a function of WBGT (24°C, 26.5°C, 28.5°C, 30°C, 36°C), and subjects drank a sport drink ad libitum. Peak core temperature (TC) and percentage change in body weight (%DBW) were measured. Creatinine clearance measured pre- and postexposure provided a primary marker of GFR. Peak TC did not differ among NIOSH compliant trials (p=0.065) but differed between compliant vs. non-compliant trials (p<0.001). %DBW did not differ among NIOSH compliant trials (p=0.131) or between compliant vs. non-compliant trials (p=0.185). Creatinine clearance did not change or differ among compliant trials (p³0.079). Creatinine clearance did not change or differ between compliant vs. non-compliant trials (p³0.661). Compliance with the NIOSH recommendations maintained GFR. Surprisingly, despite a greater heat strain in a non-compliant trial, GFR was maintained highlighting the potential relative importance of hydration.
