Abstract

Renal colic RC is a frequent disease in emergency room. The most common cause of RC is ureteral stone. Primary care physician play the initial role in the management of urolithiasis. This article reviews the current recommendations in terms of renal colic emergency management: biological assessment, imaging, pain relief and specific treatment. The majority of renal colic patients only needs strong analgesic treatment and an urologic outpatient follow-up. Care must be taken considering diagnostic tools in case of complicated RC as it requires urgent treatment in urology department.
