الوصف: Acute renal colic is a common presentation to the emergency department. It is estimated that about 12% of men and 5% of women will have at least one symptomatic stone by the age of 70. Renal colic has an annual incidence 16 cases per 10,000 per year, and a lifetime incidence of 2–5%. In the year 2000, there were over 600,000 emergency room visits for urolithiasis listed as the primary diagnosis in the United States alone. In this chapter, acute pharmacologic management of patients diagnosed with ureteral stones will be outlined. The pharmacology and clinical efficacy for narcotic and non-narcotic analgesics will be reviewed. In addition, medical expulsive therapy using alpha blockers and other agents will be extensively reviewed, in order to provide a targeted approach to the pharmacologic management of patients diagnosed with acute renal colic secondary to a ureteral stone.
