Abstract


Several factors affect the quality of life and personal well-being of transplant recipients, including Ramadan fasting for Muslims. This study aimed to assess the effect of Ramadan fasting on the renal and liver functions of liver transplantation recipients and to propose a protocol for adapting an Immunosuppression regimen and follow-up schedule for patients wishing to fast after liver transplantation.
