Objective: To study the impact of body mass on diagnosis and initial response to medical treatment in patients presenting with renal colic. Patients and methods: One hundred and sixty-five consecutive patients presenting with symptoms of renal colic have been examined. Patients were divided in 3 groups according to their body mass index: normal-weight (BMI ≤ 24.9 kg/m2), overweight (BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2). Diagnosis of renal colic was based on history, clinical examination, presence of hematuria in a urine sample, appearance of a stone on a plain radiograph, and/or presence of hydronephrosis in ultrasonography. In addition, previous history of renal colic, time to seek medical advice and time to pain relief following administration of medications were examined. Results: Mean body mass index did not differ between patients with a history of ≤1, 1-5 and ≥5 renal colics (P = 0.65). Prevalence rates of appearance of either lithiasis or hydronephrosis vs normal findings on the Kidney-Ureter-Bladder plain radiograph or ultrasonography were not different between normal-weight, overweight and obese subjects (P = 0.38 and P = 0.90 respectively). The time to seek for medical advice and the response to treatment were not different between the study groups (P = 0.24 and P = 0.53 respectively). Conclusion: Body mass does not have any impact on diagnosis, time to seek for medical advice or response to treatment in patients with renal colic.
