Description
Summary:	Patients with renal colic are usually treated in emergency care units or by their family doctors and require immediate diagnosis and treatment. The life-time risk is up to 10 %. The prevalence amounts to 4.7 % in Germany.

Without treatment the recurrence rate ranges between 50 and 100 %. Particularly, these principals should give useful advice, wherever patients are treated without urological department.
