The fast changes in blood and urine parameters

If fasting affects the chemical components of the body, sometimes called biochemical parameters.

These components are required by the doctor when the person in the analysis of blood and urine; and number. But some essential uses in each laboratory, some are complex but in advanced laboratories and scientists discover new analyses.

And we will classify these analyses into groups according to the current medical practice, and discuss what happens to each other during fasting.

1. complete blood count CBC

This is perhaps months analysis, includes white and red blood cells, hemoglobin (HB), platelets, walrsabh (hematocrit) and erythrocyte vials will have speed and others. Several studies have been conducted on the fasting blood count.

And these studies showed that don't get significant changes in this analysis is important, or that the change is temporary, then back to normal. It is confirming by the Islamic fasting period is short on blood components.

2. GLUCOSE sugar

Several studies were conducted to measure glucose in healthy non-diabetic patients, we have identified 5 studies; most showed, as expected, the rate of sugar relegated many fasters, clear because abstaining from food. But in return, no complications as a result of this decline, it usually stays at minimum.

Lack of 89 mg to 63 mg.

Chang Ch'ng 1989

Never did get a sharp decline in blood sugar.

Narvanine Narvanen 1994

Sugar measurements have not changed.

3. liver functions LFT

Liver enzymes include bilirubin (the yolk) and total protein and albumin etc. Of the three studies, you get a very slight increase in some liver enzymes in protein, but not of any clinical or clinical effect, however temporary.

Alhazmi 1987

A slight increase.

Protein and albumin

Alhazmi 1987

A slight increase.

Alswelh 1992

Increased protein first, then returned to normal.

4. kidney function RENAL FUNCTION

Urea and creatinine and includes bicarbonate and other, as well as some salts usually study. The studies found that fasting is minimal changes in kidney function, particularly urea, blood level rises, this height for urea, because urea rises if the lack of water in the blood.

But this height has no medicinal value, because it is temporary and in acceptable limits, particularly since his return to nature in the last Ramadan or fasting. This confirms the God that Islamic fasting did not affect the total person.

5. metals and salts and vitamins

With the minerals and vitamins are directly related to energy production, they play an important role in growth and build tissues and chemical reactions.

Minerals: located in the human body more than 42 element of metal-semiconductor-metal, obtained from food.

The best known minerals in the blood are calcium, sodium, potassium and chloride, iron, zinc, phosphorus.

Vitamins: the body needs about 13 vitamins, you must get it from food, and vitamins a, c, d, j, k and b-vitamins (8 b vitamins).

Have you changed the proportion of minerals and vitamins during the fast?

What was said in kidney function fully applies here, where studies have found, are four, that fasting is minimal changes in the proportion of some salts, and that most of this change in the first month, then go back to what it was before.

Calcium decreased the first month, and so on.

6. fat LIPIDS

 

The results of the studies are conflicting, and nine, about the effect of fasting on blood lipids in healthy subjects (without the high fat); in some studies, high lipids during fasting, and some go down, and on the other do not change!.

The reason it seems different people's food habits in Ramadan, another benefit of Ramadan, eating and reduces the fat content, some fast in the daytime, but exaggerated in eating at night.

7. hormones HORMONES

Received hormones with interest researchers in fasting Muslims and others, where conducted 11 study, the results suggest that thyroid hormones are not affected by fasting, and this lead to the Palace of the fasting period. However, it was noted that the timing of the secretion of cortisol and melatonin in Ramadan, and these changes unexpectedly, because cortisol and melatonin, a hormone sleep and waking, perhaps due to the fast itself, but not to change any clinical effect.

8. the parameters of urine

Because of the lack of water and the relative drought gets during the day in Ramadaan, it is expected that there will be some changes in the composition of urine components. But studies conducted in this regard did not refer to these changes have no effect adverse clinical health.
