Abstract:
Urolithiasis is a frequent problem causing a significant clinical, psychological and socio-economic burden. Analgesia remains the most important element in the medical treatment of renal colic. Nonetheless, both NSAIDs and opiates have a side effect profile which can cause further complications. As such, the use of desmopressin for renal colic has received increased attention in the last two decades. This paper provides an overview of current evidence on the use of desmopressin as an analgesic strategy in renal colic.
