Abstract
The pathophysiology of renal colic is related to tension exerted on th
e excretory cavities by an obstruction, generally a stone, causing sec
retion of prostaglandins which, in turn, increase the renal blood flow
and glomerular filtration rate. This results in a vicious circle expl
aining the effect of fluid restriction and NSAIDs.
