Abstract
Introduction: Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and Muslims fasting during this month. The effect of Ramadan fasting has been studied in various studies which are conducted on normal healthy individuals worldwide, but the changes of serum osmolality during Ramadan fasting are not known well. We aimed to investigate clinical worthiness of serum osmolality on fasting patients at Emergency Department (ED).
