Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Emergency Department patients 18 yrs or older with suspected renal colic in whom the clinician intends to obtain a CT scan to diagnose kidney stone.
  • Informed consent will be required prior to enrollment in the study.

Exclusion criteria

  • Known renal disease (any ESRD, transplant, PCKD), dementia, trauma, language barrier, incarcerated patients, and patients who do not undergo CT.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. hydronephrosis bedside ultrasound

    Time frame: Sept 2011-Jan 2013

    To determine the overall sensitivity and specificity of hydronephrosis on point-of-care bedside ultrasound to identify hydronephrosis as compared to hydronephrosis found on by CT.

Secondary outcomes

  1. hydronephrosis bedside ultrasound

    Time frame: Sept 2011-Jan 2013

    To determine test performance characteristics of hydronephrosis on point of care ultrasound with the goal of incorporating POC US into a prospective rule for determining which patients with suspected renal colic require CT evaluation.

Other outcomes

  1. hydronephrosis

    Time frame: Sept 2011-Jan 2013

    To prospectively correlate the finding and degree of hydronephrosis on point of care ultrasound with stone size (a marker for likely spontaneous passage).
