Renal Colic
Renal Colic acute griping pains, or colic, in the lumbar or iliac region caused by spasms of the smooth muscles or calices of the renal pelvis or by spasms of the smooth muscles of the ureter following a sudden obstruction to the flow of urine. Renal colic usually occurs when the urinary tract is obstructed by a stone or an accumulation of urinary salts. During an attack of renal colic the patient experiences great discomfort, continually shifts his body, and urinates frequently and painfully. Nausea and vomiting are common. The clinical picture sometimes resembles that of acute abdomen. Treatment consists of local application of heat, warm baths, and administration of pain relievers and antispasmodics. renal colic
colic [kol´ik] acute paroxysmal abdominal pain. It is particularly common during the first three months of life; the infant has paroxysmal, unexplained crying and may pull up arms and legs, turn red-faced, and expel gas from the anus or belch it up from the stomach. The exact cause of infantile colic is not known but several factors may contribute to it, including excessive swallowing of air, too rapid feeding or overfeeding, parental anxiety, allergy to milk, or other feeding problems. It generally occurs at the same time of day, usually at the busiest period.
