Description
Aminu Kasarawa Bello and co-authors published a review paper in 2024 on whether Ramadan fasting harms people with chronic kidney disease or a kidney transplant. Fasting from dawn to dusk is a core practice, but its effects on weak kidneys were unclear. The team pooled the observational studies that tracked kidney measures before and after Ramadan.
Thirty-two studies with 2,592 people were included. Across the pooled results, fasting was not tied to worsening kidney function in the groups examined. Blood pressure, salts, protein in urine, and adverse events were tracked as well. The authors urge care and monitoring for higher-risk patients rather than blanket bans.
