Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to know the impacts of restriction of fluid & diet strictly in the long hours fasting duration Ramadan con the amount of the renal colic visits & biochemical features of the formation of stones are available with various controversies in the same subject. Main idea of this case study was to evaluate the impact of fasting in Ramadan on the amount of visits of renal colic and results of laboratory among the patients with renal colic complications. Methodology: This is a prospective case work based on observations. This case work carried out on the patients who got admission in the department of emergency of hospital due to renal colic. The division of the study carried out in two parts as prior Ramadan and during Ramadan. We recorded the all results of laboratory testing and daily values of the air temperature. P value of less than 0.050 was significant for all tests of this case work. Results: Total one hundred and seventy six patients (89 prior Ramadan and 87 during Ramadan) with complication of renal colic were the part of this case work. In Ramadan, 73.10% (n: 49) patients got admission in first fifteen days of Ramadan and 26.90% (n: 20) patients got admission in the last half duration of Ramadan. Only the density of urine and values of white blood cells in both durations of Ramadan and other than Ramadan were significantly different from one another. The values of hemoglobin, general crystal & triple phosphate crystal in the first fifteen and last fifteen days of Ramadan were with significant disparity. Conclusion: This case work has displayed that fasting in the month of Ramadan does not have the ability to alter the visits due to renal colic. Additionally, there are some alterations in the urinary metabolites because of fasting but there is still not too much evidence that these alterations can increase the formation of the calculus in the urinary tract.
