Exercise also seems to cause constriction of the efferent arterioles, the vessels that lead out of the glomeruli, the kidney's filtration units. The result is a backup that increases pressure in the glomeruli and makes them more permeable, allowing proteins and blood cells to pass through the glomerular membranes and ultimately into the urine...
