The data show a strong reduction in the risk of developing AKI as a benefit of fasting, particularly in patients with comorbid conditions. Therefore, most patients with comorbid conditions are not harmed from fasting during Ramadan. However, larger prospective studies are needed to investigate the benefit of fasting in reducing the risk of developing AKI.
