Article Synopsis
- Acute mountain sickness (AMS) affects many people ascending to high altitudes, but it can be prevented through proper acclimatization and is diagnosed using the Lake Louise Score (LLS).
- A systematic review was conducted to explore the potential connection between oxygen saturation levels and the likelihood of developing AMS during high altitude ascent.
- Out of 980 studies reviewed, only seven met the criteria for inclusion, indicating that decreased oxygen saturation measured via pulse oximetry can help predict AMS development, but there's a need for more consistent research methods to improve reliability.
Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a well-studied illness defined by clinical features (e.g., headache and nausea), as assessed by the Lake Louise score (LLS).

Proteinuria is a transient physiological phenomenon that occurs with a range of physical activities and during ascent to altitude. Exercise intensity appears to dictate the magnitude of postexercise proteinuria; however, evidence also indicates the possible contributions from exercise-induced hypoxemia or reoxygenation. Using an environmental hypoxic chamber, this crossover-designed study aimed to evaluate urinary alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (α1-AGP) excretion pre/postexercise performed in hypoxia (HYP) and normoxia (NOR).
