Overview

Supportive therapy for [disease name] includes [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and [therapy 3].

OR

The majority of cases of [disease name] are self-limited and require only supportive care.

OR

[Disease name] is a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment.

OR

The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is [therapy].

OR   The optimal therapy for [malignancy name] depends on the stage at diagnosis.

OR

[Therapy] is recommended among all patients who develop [disease name].

OR

Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with [disease subclass 1], [disease subclass 2], and [disease subclass 3].

OR

Pharmacologic medical therapies for [disease name] include (either) [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and/or [therapy 3].

Medical Therapy

Nephroliithiasis

Non pharmacological measures

  • Increased fluid intake
  • Straining
    • Stone ≤5 mm can pass spontaneously.
    • Passage of stone also depends on the site of stone.[1]
  • Evaluating diet.
    • For example, diet containing excess proteins can precipitate uric acid stones.

Pharmacological measures

  • Both NSAIDS and opiods are seen efficacious for the pain relief related to nephrolithiasis.[2]
  • The combination works in effective pain relief.[3]
  • NSAIDS should be stopped before undergoing Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy to reduce the risk of bleeding.
Pain relief
Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
  • Parenteral regimen
    • Preferred regimen (1): Ketorolac 60 mg as a single dose or 30 mg IM q6h
    • Alternative regimen (1): Ketorolac 10 to 30 mg (as single dose) IM and then q4-6 h as needed (maximum: 120 mg/day)
    • Alternative regimen (2): Ketorolac 30 mg as a single dose or 30 mg IV q6h (maximum: 120 mg/day)
  • Oral regimen
    • Preferred regimen (1): Ketorolac 20 mg, followed by 10 mg q4-6 h as needed; maximum: 40 mg/day; follows the parenteral dose (contraindicated in patients with renal failure)
    • Alternative regimen (1):Indomethacin 20 mg PO q8h
    • Alternative regimen (2):Indomethacin 40 mg PO q8-12h

Opioids

  • Parenteral regimen
    • Preferred regimen (1): Morphine 5 mg IV q4h as needed
Passage of stone
  • The passage of stones depend on the size and location of the stone.[4][5][6]
  • Stones ≤5 mm in diameter pass spontaneously.
  • It decrease as the size grows and not likely for sizes ≥10 mm in diameter.
  • Stones which are proximal are less likely to pass spontaneously.
  • Oral regimen
Type specific treatment
Urologic consult
