Definition

Renal colic is an attack of acute pain, sudden and violent, located in the abdominal area or more commonly lumbar. The intensity of the pain symptomatology can be so marked as to determine the loss of consciousness. The subject affected by a renal colic is often anxious, pale and agitated, in continuous search for a position of the body capable of relieving pain which, with the passage of time, radiates forward and down towards the groin. This symptom is important to distinguish renal colic from the hepatic colic which instead radiates upwards.

Further indications

Renal colic is, in most cases, the consequence of a migration of the stones present in the kidneys within the kidney or ureteral basins; the physical obstacle to the normal outflow of urine triggers the characteristic symptomatology, which often includes - in addition to those already mentioned - symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, hyper-sweating and pallor. In the presence of renal colic it is important to consult a doctor for a precise diagnosis and a possible prescription for a pain medication.
