Patient is rolling around bed in obvious pain.  Patient was last seen 9 months ago with similar complaints and gross hematuria.What is next best step in management of this patient? • CT Scan • IV Morphine • IV Fluids • Renal Ultrasound • Xray (KUB) • Urinalysis Answer Now :22

  4. Risk Factors • Low fluid intake • History of prior stones or Family history • Conditions known to precipitate stone formation • Medications • Loop diuretics, acetazolamide, antacids, etc. • Male gender (3x more likely to have stones) • UTIs

  6. Clinical Features • Renal Colic • Nausea and Vomiting • Hematuria • Dysuria and urgency • UTI

  7. Evaluation • Labs • UA, Urine Culture, BMP • Imaging • Xray KUB (Initial imaging test) • Helical CT without contrast (Most sensitive test) • IVP • Renal Ultrasound (Pts who should avoid radiation)

  8. Management • Analgesia • IV Morphine or ParenteralNSAIDs (Ketorolac) • Fluid Hydration • Imaging • Antibiotics (if UTI is present) • Outpatient vs Inpatient • Surgery • Extracoporeal shock wave lithotripsy (>5mm – 2cm) • PercutaneousNephrolithotomy (>2cm)
