Overview

This retrospective study reveals blood pressure changes among newly diagnosed hypertensive patients during Ramadan fasting, indicating safety for renal function.

Key Points

  • Both fasting and non-fasting groups experienced reductions in blood pressure from baseline to one month post-Ramadan.
  • Changes in kidney function, measured by creatinine levels and eGFR, were stable, suggesting no adverse effects from fasting.
  • Assessment involved a diuretic-containing regimen for participants, indicating a controlled management of hypertension.
  • Further research is necessary to verify these findings in a broader hypertensive population to ensure generalizability.
