EFFECTS OF RAMADAN FASTING ON BLOOD PRESSURE CONTROL, LIPID PROFILE, BRAIN NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE, RENAL FUNCTIONS AND ELECTROLYTE LEVELS IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS TAKING COMBINATION THERAPY
İbrahim Faruk Aktürk, İsmail Bıyık, Cüneyt Koşaş, Ahmet Arif Yalçın, Mehmet Ertürk, Fatih UzunABSTRACT
Material and Method: Twenty hypertensive patients who intented to fast during Ramadan were included to study. Ambulatory blood pressure and blood sample measurements were made in the month before Ramadan, at the last week of Ramadan and one month after Ramadan.
Results: Ten patients were men and 10 patients were women. The mean age was 52±14 years. The results revealed a significant reduction in HDL cholesterol levels in Ramadan. There were no significant changes in other lipid parameters, BNP, electrolyte levels and renal functions. Significant reductions in mean daytime systolic and diastolic blood pressures (p=0.03 and p=0.04, respectively) and in twenty four hour average systolic and diastolic blood pressures (p=0.01 and p=0.01, respectively) were observed during Ramadan. These reductions were not more than enough to warrant changing the treatment.
Conclusion: Ramadan fasting might cause significant reductions on daytime and twenty four hour average systolic and diastolic blood pressures in hypertensive patients with combination therapy. These reductions may not be more than enough to warrant changing the treatment. Ramadan fasting might also cause significant reduction in HDL cholesterol levels in hypertensive patients with combination therapy.
