Implication

Retrospective study shows no adverse effects on blood pressure or kidney function in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients, suggesting Ramadan fasting is safe with clinical guidance.

Key Points

Both fasting and non-fasting groups showed reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, demonstrating the impact of Ramadan fasting.
At one-month follow-up, kidney function indicators like serum creatinine and eGFR remained stable, indicating no adverse effects from fasting.
Patients received a regimen containing diuretics, including either an ACE inhibitor or ARB alongside hydrochlorothiazide, emphasizing the importance of medication management.
These results warrant further larger studies to validate findings and explore variations in other hypertensive populations.
