Evaluation of glomerular filtration rate decline in patients with renal colic

The aim of current study was to evaluate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline in patients with renal colic. This descriptive analytical study was conducted on patients with definitive diagnosis of renal colic in Alzahra hospital. Data including gender, age, and underlying disease were extracted from medical records. GFR and creatinine level were assessed before and 3 months after stone excretion. Hydronephrosis severity was assessed by ultrasound procedure. In current study, 224 patients with renal colic and mean age 45.6±11.35 years old were selected. The mean GFR before and 3 months after urinary stone excretion were 45.89±18.84 and 61.13±22.10 ml/minute, respectively (
