This study was carried out to find out whether Ramadan fasting would affect the renal function in kidney transplant recipients with normal or impaired graft function. Twenty-three transplant recipients, 17 with a normal function and 6 with an impaired but stable function with plasma creatinine levels not exceeding 300 mmol/l, were included in this study. The mean posttransplant period was 2.0 (range 0.6-6.3) years. Urinary and serum biochemical parameters, ciclosporin A level, and hematocrit were checked weekly, during Ramadan as well as 1 week before and after. Statistical analysis showed no significant changes in all parameters before, during, and after Ramadan. In conclusion, our findings indicate that fasting during the month of Ramadan does not seem to be associated with any significant adverse effects in kidney transplant recipients with normal or impaired graft function and suggest that it is safe for those patients to fast during Ramadan after 1 year of renal transplantation.
本研究旨在探讨斋月禁食是否会影响移植肾功能正常或受损的肾移植受者的肾功能。本研究纳入了23名移植受者，其中17名移植肾功能正常，6名移植肾功能受损但稳定，血浆肌酐水平不超过300 mmol/l。移植后的平均时间为2.0（范围0.6 - 6.3）年。在斋月期间以及斋月前1周和斋月后1周，每周检查尿液和血清生化参数、环孢素A水平以及血细胞比容。统计分析表明，斋月前、斋月期间和斋月后所有参数均无显著变化。总之，我们的研究结果表明，斋月禁食似乎与移植肾功能正常或受损的肾移植受者的任何显著不良反应无关，并表明肾移植1年后的患者在斋月期间禁食是安全的。
