摘要
Objectives: To explore the frequency of renal colic (RC) secondary to urinary stones in Ramadan compared to other months and seasons of the year. Methods: 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. Results: 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 dRamadan and non-Ramadan months. Conclusion: Fasting in Ramadan does not increase the risk for developing urinary stones compared to nonfasting months. However, fasting in Ramadan during the summer may increase the risk of developing ureter stones compared to fasting in Ramadan during the winter.
