title: Glucagon in the acute management of ureteral colic.
abstract: Use of intravenous glucagon should be considered in all patients with urinary calculi who fail to respond to narcotic analgesia and hydration. The lack of adverse side effects and the potential to reduce the morbidity associated with surgical intervention make glucagon a valuable adjunct in medical management of ureteral colic.
