Treatment of Cystinuria Presenting with Renal Colic
Clinical Scenario
Patients with Cystinuria can present with renal colic — acute flank pain driven by cystine stone passage. The classical symptomatic management of renal colic applies in this setting, with urologist involvement from the point of admission.
Treatment Approach
Initial pain management centers on a specific anti-inflammatory drug class as the preferred first-line agent, applied in the absence of contraindications.
The complete regimen — including agent selection, contraindication criteria, and clinical sequencing — is detailed in the full protocol.
