Acute ureteral colic and fluid intake.
In the treatment of acute ureteral colic opinions differ regarding the consequences of fluid intake. This study was undertaken to evaluate a possible relationship between fluid load and the pain. One group of patients received 3 liters of fluid intravenously, while in another group all fluids were withheld. No intergroup differences as regards pain was found after 6 hours of observation.
