First aid for kidney ring
Renal colic is not an independent disease - it is a syndrome that indicates the development of some pathology in the urinary tract. The main manifestation of the syndrome is acute pain that disturbs a person's peace of mind, making even the simplest movements almost impossible. The first aid for a kidney ring is to eliminate the pain syndrome as quickly as possible.
Possible causes of the development of renal colic
An attack of renal colic can be provoked by certain pathological conditions, including:
- urolithiasis, which proceeds for a long time and with complications;
- violation of the process of mineral exchange;
- progression of acute or exacerbation of chronic pyelonephritis;
- development of nephroptosis;
- progression of hydronephrosis;
- benign and/or malignant tumors located in the area of the kidneys;
- pathologies related to the functioning of the prostate in men.
Treatment of renal colic consists in finding out the cause and carrying out the necessary medical measures for diagnosed diseases.
Signs of development of renal colic
The most pronounced symptom of the syndrome is acute pain in the lumbar region. The patient does not feel relief even when changing the position of the body, in some cases the pain can become even stronger, acquire a pulsating character. Doctors insist that in the case of a renal ring, it is necessary to seek qualified medical help as soon as possible - with the intensive development of the syndrome, a painful shock may occur.
In addition to the pain syndrome, this process may be accompanied by signs of general intoxication of the body: tremor (severe shaking) of the upper and lower limbs, nausea, vomiting, general weakness, impaired consciousness.
Urgent care for renal ringworm is also necessary because intestinal paresis may occur against the background of the syndrome. This happens exclusively at the reflex level, it is manifested by difficulties in passing gases, constipation and strong flatulence.
Renal colic - first aid
This syndrome always requires urgent medical intervention. Moreover, it is necessary to call a specialist even if the symptoms of renal colic have become less pronounced or completely disappeared. The point is not only that it is necessary to stop renal colic - the doctor must conduct an examination of the patient, find out the true cause of the syndrome and, if necessary, provide emergency medical care (for example, in case of acute appendicitis or ectopic pregnancy).
Emergency care for kidney ring consists in compliance with three conditions:
- Call a doctor.
- Provide the patient with warmth. He can be placed in a hot bath, but only in a sitting position. Before that, it is necessary to make sure that there are no contraindications to a hot bath (history of cardiovascular diseases, pregnancy), in which case you can use a warm heating pad.
- The patient can be given antispasmodics - for example, No-shpu, Papaverine or Drotaverine. It is necessary to drink 4 tablets at once - this will contribute to the relaxation of the urethral wall. If renal colic is on the left, you can take Baralgin or Ketanov.
Only a doctor can decide what to do with a kidney ring on the right. In no case should the patient be given painkillers, as the cause of the syndrome may be the progression of acute appendicitis or blockage of the bile duct. Painkillers in this case will "smear" the clinical picture, it will be difficult for the doctor to find out the true cause.

Treatment of renal colic
There is no single scheme of therapy for the syndrome under consideration, because the doctor makes specific appointments only after conducting a comprehensive examination. Treatment of renal colic is an emergency aid to alleviate the patient's condition. If the patient has a high body temperature, impaired consciousness, then doctors ignore the need to provide the patient with dry heat and immediately resort to an ultrasound examination to find out the reason for the development of the progression of the disease.
If the implementation of first aid for a renal ring did not give results, the patient will undergo catheterization of the ureter, puncture nephrostomy or other strictly operative treatment. For this, the patient is hospitalized in an inpatient surgical or urological department of a medical institution.
Treatment of renal colic, which is accompanied by high body temperature, cannot be carried out at home - most likely, this syndrome indicates the development of acute pyelonephritis, which requires immediate hospitalization. Any thermal procedures are categorically contraindicated.
When hospitalization of a patient with renal colic is necessary:
- taking painkillers does not reduce the pain syndrome;
- absence of urine - this is a serious complication, which means blockage of the urinary tract and can lead to the loss of a kidney;
- renal colic developed during pregnancy;
- a person has only one kidney;
- the pain syndrome is intense and is observed on both sides.
How to treat renal colic can only be determined by a doctor based on the patient's medical history, his general condition and the obtained examination data.
