Components of Renal Colic Care
✔ Emergency Pain Management – Immediate administration of strong pain relievers (e.g., NSAIDs, opioids) to rapidly alleviate the severe pain associated with renal colic.
✔ Detailed Medical History & Symptom Evaluation – A thorough discussion of your pain characteristics, any history of kidney stones, diet, fluid intake, and family history.
✔ Urinalysis & Urine Culture – To check for infection, blood in urine, and rule out accompanying urinary tract infection, which can complicate renal colic.
✔ Blood Tests – May be performed to assess kidney function, white blood cell count (for infection), and electrolyte balance.
✔ Imaging Studies (e.g., CT KUB, Renal Ultrasound) – A low-dose CT scan is the gold standard for quickly identifying the stone's presence, size, and location, and assessing for urinary tract obstruction. Ultrasound may also be used.
✔ Fluid Management – Encouraging adequate hydration (intravenously if needed) to help flush the urinary system, once obstruction is ruled out or relieved.
✔ Medical Expulsive Therapy (MET) – For smaller stones, medications (e.g., alpha-blockers like tamsulosin) may be prescribed to help relax the ureter and facilitate stone passage.
✔ Interventional Procedures (If Needed) – For larger stones, intractable pain, or signs of infection/obstruction: * Ureteroscopy (URS): A thin scope is passed through the urethra and bladder into the ureter to visualize and remove or laser fragment stones. * Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): Uses shock waves from outside the body to break kidney stones into smaller pieces that can be passed more easily. * Stent Placement: A small tube placed in the ureter to relieve obstruction and improve urine flow.
✔ Stone Analysis & Prevention – If a stone is passed or removed, it will be analyzed to determine its composition, which is vital for preventing future stones.
✔ Follow-up & Ongoing Care – Regular monitoring to ensure complete stone clearance and adherence to prevention strategies.
