Introduction: Chronic kidney disease is characterized as an abnormality of kidney structure or function, which lasts for 43 months or more, and which has health implications and, traditionally, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is considered as the best marker of renal function. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the factors associated with changes in GFR in physical activity practitioners from São Luís, Maranhão. Method: This is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 84 individuals practicing physical activity. Sociodemographic, biochemical, food consumption and anthropometric data were collected. Statistical analysis included the Shapiro Wilk test to verify normality and, once normality was confirmed, Student's t-test was used to evaluate the difference between the explanatory variables and the outcome (reduced renal function, ie: reduced TGF < 60 ml/min, calculated using the CKD-EPI equation). Statistical significance was set at p <0.05. Results: Reduced GFR (< 60 ml/min) was observed in 2.4% of individuals and its average was 89.5 ml/min/1.73m2. Associated with the outcome: age (32.4 ± 9.4 years); females with 53.6% and protein consumption. Conclusion: The mean GFR found was reduced and most of the individuals evaluated had normal values. The outcome was associated with age and protein intake.
