Abstract

Introduction: There are still some controversies in renal stone formation issue during fasting period. Uric acid is one of the risk factors in nephrolithiasis. The association between body weight and serum uric acid concentration has been reported. This study was aimed to assess the effects of serum uric acid changes, electrolytes and body weight during fasting period.Material & Methods: About the first month of winter when fasting time was at most 13 hours/ day, 44 volunteers were selected. All of them were employees of a military center in Tehran. Blood was sampled and blood pressure was measured twice in the 1 SI and 29th day of fasting period after at least S hours of fasting. Uric acid and electroiytes concentration were measured for each serum sample, using the same method and kit at both times.Results: Mean age of the participants was 39.S±S.4 years. Mean serum sodium and potassium concentration were 142±1.9 vs 141±1.9 mEqjl and 4.1±0.16 vs 4.1±0.15 mEq/1 before and after Ramadan fasting, respectively (No significant changes) Mean after fasting period serum uric acid concentration increased 0.6 mg compared with before this period (4.2±07 vs 3.6±0.6 mg/ dl, p<0.05). The mean body weight value decreased 2 kg during fasting period (726±S.9 vs 74.6±10 kg, p<0.05).Conclusion: Despite the existence of different opinions on changes of serum electrolytes during the fasting period and its effects on renal functional disorders, this study did not show any significant difference. But like most other studies on acid uric, albeit the weight decreasing the uric acid concentration was increased during the fasting period. Uric acid increasing during this period could cause not only renal stones but also coronary artery diseases. Uric acid increase could be due to decrease in glomerular filtration rate or excessive breakdown of tissue ribonucleic acids during fasting period. It is recommended to study on the main reason of increasing serum uric acid in future. Also correct diet education should be considered to prevent tissue damage during fasting period
