To explore the frequency of renal colic (RC) secondary to urinary stones in Ramadan compared to other months and seasons of the year.
Retrospective cross-sectional study using medical records of 237 patients admitted through the emergency room (ER) with a diagnosis of RC secondary to urinary stones over a 10-year period at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Patients fasting in Ramadan are 2 times more likely to present with a calculus of ureter as opposed to calculus in another location in the urinary tract, particularly when the holy month of Ramadan falls in the summer season. There was no significant difference in the frequency of urinary stones between Ramadan and non-Ramadan months.
Fasting in Ramadan does not increase the risk for developing urinary stones compared to non-fasting months. However, fasting in Ramadan during the summer may increase the risk of developing ureter stones compared to fasting in Ramadan during the winter.
探讨斋月期间与一年中的其他月份和季节相比,因尿路结石继发肾绞痛(RC)的发生频率。
采用回顾性横断面研究,利用沙特阿拉伯王国利雅得阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王医疗城10年间通过急诊室(ER)收治的237例诊断为尿路结石继发肾绞痛患者的病历。
斋月期间禁食的患者出现输尿管结石的可能性是尿路其他部位结石的2倍,尤其是当斋月圣月在夏季时。斋月和非斋月期间尿路结石的发生频率没有显著差异。
与非斋月相比,斋月期间禁食不会增加患尿路结石的风险。然而,与冬季斋月禁食相比,夏季斋月禁食可能会增加患输尿管结石的风险。
