Summary
This study compares kidney blood flow during exercise in healthy young African American and White adults. Researchers want to see if African Americans have a larger drop in kidney blood flow during physical activity, which could help explain higher rates of heart and kidney disease in this group. Participants will do cycling, cold water hand tests, and mental math during two lab visits.
