Imaging patients with Renal Colic—consider ultrasound first
Insights into imaging, 2015Co-Authors: Carlos Nicolau, Michel Claudon, Lorenzo E. Derchi, E. Jane Adam, Michael Bachmann Nielsen, Gerhard Mostbeck, Catherine M. Owens, Christiane M. Nyhsen, Spyros YarmenitisAbstract:Renal Colic is a common disease in Europe and a common cause of visit to the Emergency Department. Clinical diagnosis is usually confirmed by imaging modalities. Unenhanced computed tomography (CT) is considered the best diagnostic test due to its excellent accuracy detecting ureteral stones. However, ultrasound (US) should be considered as the primary imaging technique. It is a reproducible, non-invasive and non-expensive imaging technique, achieving accurate diagnosis in most cases without the need for radiation. Diagnosis is based on the presence of ureteral stones, but indirect findings such as the asymmetry or absence of ureteric jet, an increase of the resistive index or a colour Doppler twinkling artefact may help to suggest the diagnosis when the stone is not identified. • Renal Colic diagnosis is usually confirmed by imaging modalities. • Imaging diagnosis of Renal Colic is based on the detection of ureteral stones. • CT is the most accurate imaging technique to identify ureteral stones. • US allows correct diagnosis in most cases without using radiation. • US should be used as the first imaging modality in patients with Renal Colic.

Outpatient emergency treatment by ESWL for ureteral calculi with Renal Colic
Modern Preventive Medicine, 2013Co-Authors: Tang Yuan-jieAbstract:OBJECTIVE To investigate outpatient emergency treatment by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy(ESWL)for ureteral calculi with Renal Colic.METHODS A retrospective analysis was made on the effect of outpatient emergency treatment by ESWL for ureteral calculi with Renal Colic from January,2010 to April,2012.RESULTS After one time of ESWL,the odynolysis rate and lithecbole rate were 89.4% and 82.5% respectively.The lithecbole rate after 2-5 times of ESWL was 15.8%,and the total lithecbole rate was 98.3%.14 cases were failed,and were transferred to urinary surgery to do examins by nephroscope or ureteroscope surgical treatment or surgical operation.CONCLUSION Outpatient emergency treatment by ESWL for ureteral calculi with Renal Colic is very effective,and can be the first choice for the treatment of ureteral calculi with Renal Colic.

Ureteroscopy for the treatment of stubborn Renal Colic during pregnancy
Journal of Modern Urology, 2010Co-Authors: Lin Wei-pingAbstract:Objective To evaluate the effecacy and safety of ureteroscope and pneumatic lithotripsy for the treatment of Renal Colic in pregnant women.Methods 34 pregnant women(gestitation 12~32 weeks;mean 24 weeks)with Renal Colic who failed to respond to conservative treatment were treated with ureteroscopy.30 cases with calculi received pneumatic lithotripsy,12 of which had calculi in upper ureter and 18 in middle or lower ureter.Double-J catheter was indwelt for drainage.4 cases without stones were treated with double-J catheter drainage.Results All urgent symptoms in the 34 cases were relieved after treatment.No complications such as ureterperforation occurred.Stone clearance rate was 83.3%(25/30).All cases had normal delivery.Conclusion Ureteroscopy is safe and effective to Renal Colic during pregnancy.

non contrast spiral ct for patients with suspected Renal Colic
European Radiology, 1997Co-Authors: D S Katz, M J Lane, F G SommerAbstract:Renal Colic, defined as acute flank pain caused by the passage of a ureteral calculus, is a common condition, but the correct diagnosis may not be apparent clinically. For decades, intravenous urography has been the test of choice for evaluating patients with suspected Renal Colic. Recently, unenhanced (non-contrast) helical CT has been shown to be an accurate and highly effective examination which can be used instead of intravenous urography. In this article, the technique is reviewed in detail, including its advantages and potential pitfalls.
