“…Secondly, the impact of RF on renal function in 28 adult CKD patients (mean age: 46 years) was examined in a prospective observational study. 35 All 28 patients managed to fast for the whole month, and none displayed any new clinical symptoms or signs. Renal function worsened in four (14.3%), which was significant in those with CKD stages 4 and 5.…”

“…Four studies examined the impact of RF on renal function. [34][35][36][37] The first study assessed the relationship between fasting and the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) to identify patients at high risk in a single-center, retrospective, propensity-score-matched cohort design. 34 Data were collected from adult patients admitted to the emergency room during Ramadan and the following month over two consecutive years (2016 and 2017).…”

Objectives The literature on health and disease during Ramadan fasting (RF) is widely spread in many journals making it not readily accessible to those interested in the subject. Here, we provide an overview of the research on the interplay of RF with various aspects of well-being published in 2022. Materials and Methods A narrative, nonsystematic review of the international literature from a single major medical online database, PubMed, in one calendar year (2022) was conducted. The search term “Ramadan fasting” was used to retrieve the appropriate records. The relevant literature with substantial data-based content was presented in a concise thematic account, excluding those concerned with diabetes. Results Themes that emerged from the review included the pathophysiology of metabolic changes during RF, nutritional aspects including body composition and energy metabolism, cardiovascular disease and risk factors, renal function and structure, endocrinology (mainly thyroid), neurological disorders, mental health, pregnancy and fetal life, and infections (including COVID). Some miscellaneous clinical themes were identified, such as patients' and professional perspectives. Conclusions In 2022, the medical interest in RF was again widely spread across specialties. Cardiovascular disease and risk factors attract the most interest in terms of original articles and professional guidelines. We hope with this review to present a concise summary of the scholarly work on the subject in this year.

“…Four patients with CKD-ND (Stages 4-5) exhibited WKF; two of these patients improved after Ramadan while two did not. Low eGFR was the only risk factor associated with WKF [51]. One study conducted in Egypt split fasting diabetics into three groups: Group 1, ACR >30 and 60 mL/min/ 1.73 m 2 < eGFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ; Group 2, ACR >30 and eGFR >90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ; and Group 3, no CKD.…”

The Impact of Hot Ambient Temperature and Prolonged Fasting Duration during Ramadan on Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Literature Review

The Islamic (lunar) calendar has 11 fewer days each year than the Gregorian (solar) calendar. Consequently, ambient temperatures during the month of Ramadan and the duration of the presunrise-to-sunset fast will change each year. At some point, individuals observing Ramadan will experience prolonged periods of fasting during the hot summer months. In this manuscript, findings published in the English-language medical literature that address the impact of prolonged fasting during the warmer summer months on patients with chronic kidney disease, including dialysis and transplantation patients, are reviewed. This is of particular concern given the accelerated pace of global warming. The limitations of the evidence that is currently available are also discussed, and an approach that might be used to standardize future evaluations of the impact of fasting on kidney health is suggested.

“…Therefore, Sixty Chronic Kidney Disease patients who have fasted for whole month during Ramadan were investigated by Mbarki and his colleagues to determine their renal function. The researchers found that acute renal failure (ARF) may have started in 11.7% of CKD patients, who experienced a decrease in GFR of 25% and a rise in serum creatinine that was 442.1 mol/L higher than the original serum creatinine level [97]. Nasrallah et al [98] observed that after one week of fasting during Ramadan, serum creatinine rose by 60.4% compared to non-fasting CKD patients who served as the control group, with substantial unfavourable effects in fasted CKD patients (eGFR =27.7 mL/min/1.73 m2).…”

Ramadan fasting is a religious practice observed by millions of Muslims worldwide. Firstly, the experimental studies were searched on different websites like PubMed, Science direct, and google scholar to find out the latest research regarding Ramadan fasting. Studies have shown that Ramadan fasting influences body weight, blood glucose, insulin, lipid levels, and blood pressure. However, the effects of fasting on mental health and specific health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer or metabolic disorders vary depending on individual factors. Because, fasting duration, the presence of chronic diseases, and obesity are all factors that can alter the outcomes. Until now, Multiple studies on Ramadan fasting's impact on health have been conducted but certain limitations make the results inconclusive. We hope to gain a better understanding of the potential benefits and risks associated with this religious practice. Ultimately, this knowledge can be used to inform healthcare professionals and individuals who are participating in Ramadan fasting. Further research is necessary to explore underlying mechanisms and optimize fasting protocols for chronic disease patients. Overall, this review emphasizes the need for further research on the effects of Ramadan fasting on human health and its potential as a tool for improving health outcomes in diverse populations.
