Renal colic

Author: Ľubomír Lachváč

Renal colic is a severe, acute pain syndrome most commonly caused by obstruction of the urinary tract by urolithiasis. The pain typically originates in the flank and may radiate to the lower abdomen, groin, or genital region. Renal colic results from increased intraluminal pressure and ureteral smooth muscle spasm proximal to the obstruction. Nausea, vomiting, and haematuria are frequently associated symptoms. Non-contrast computed tomography is considered the imaging modality of choice for the diagnosis of renal colic. Ultrasonography may be used as an initial imaging tool, particularly in pregnant patients or those requiring radiation avoidance. Laboratory evaluation includes urinalysis to detect haematuria and blood tests to assess renal function and infection. Differential diagnosis includes other causes of acute abdominal or flank pain. Initial management focuses on pain control, hydration, and exclusion of complications such as infection or renal impairment. Definitive treatment depends on stone size, location, composition, and patient-related factors.

It accounts for approximately 5 million deaths each year worldwide and causes disability to millions more. About half of all deaths due to trauma are in people aged 15–45 years and in this age it is the leading cause of death.
