Physiopathology of renal colic and the therapeutic consequences.
NSAID are by far the most efficient therapy in renal colic treatment as they directly interfere with the physiopathology of a renal colic. Other therapies that have been standard are now shown to be insufficient or even contraindicated. Hydratation during a renal colic seems to be unimportant. The efficiency of stone-expulsive drugs has still to be proven.
