 eMedicine - Nephrolithiasis: Acute Renal Colic : Article by Stephen W Leslie, MD, FACS
For this reason, if a patient is taking a protease inhibitor drug such as indinavir (Crixivan) and presents with a history suggestive of renal colic, the study of choice is an IVP.
The classic presentation for a patient with acute renal colic is the sudden onset of severe pain originating in the flank and radiating inferiorly and anteriorly.
Colic is a misnomer because renal colic pain tends to remain constant, whereas intestinal or biliary colic is usually somewhat intermittent and often comes in waves.

 colic
Colic is strictly defined as periodic (around the same time every day) fussy crying in an otherwise normal, healthy infant who has no medical problem.
What has impressed me, as time and medical progress marches on, is that the vast majority of "colicy" babies have either a medical problem or are being fed or otherwise handled in a way that is causing problems.
True colic as strictly defined does exist, but in my experience is rather uncommon.

 Welcome to Children's Health Canada
Summary Colic can be a difficult experience for baby and family.
As a mother you should not feel guilty that your baby has colic; in particular, there is no evidence that over-concern of a mother for her baby is a factor in causing it.
The first time that your baby has colic, you will be very concerned and will probably take your baby to your family physician or pediatrician.

 Pregnancy Weekly - Helpful and trusted information about Pregnancy
You can ease some of the tension for yourself and for your baby by understanding what colic is. There is no cure for it, it is not a serious health problem and that your baby is unhappy because it has a gassy, belly ache!
I explained her symptoms to the doctor, and he had checked her thoroughly and said "she is a very healthy baby but does seem to be gassy.
During our first experience with colic I couldn't imagine what the problem was.

 Horse colic
Colic can be defined simply as abdominal pain.
But with a little patience and ingenuity, the baby soon outgrows its bout with colic and the unpleasantness becomes a distant memory.
Gas is another common cause, resulting in pain from the intestine being stretched.

 Colic
Colic is defined as acute abdominal pain and, as such, can be induced by any disease process causing pain within the abdomen.
Intestinal causes of colic can often be differentiated from colic associated with other organ systems by physical examination (tachypnea may be present in a horse with pleuritis, but the client may have called you to examine the horse because of colic).
They also are effective in relieving clinical signs of colic without affecting the primary problem, resulting in delay of the decision for surgery.

 Colic in Babies, Every Parents Nightmare
Colic is the name given to the sharp, intermittent abdominal pains or cramps that occur in babies whose digestive systems are still growing.
Offer your little finger (the pad of your finger to the roof of her mouth) or a dummy to a distressed baby who has just fed. Some babies will feed almost continuously when colicky but the extra milk can overload the stomach and aggravate the colic when all they want is to comfort-suck.
Remind yourself that your baby's colic will not last forever, even though it feels like a lifetime most babies have grown out of it, have developed a strong enough digestive system to cope, by the age of three months.

 Colic
The baby will be examined for any possible physical cause for crying.
And to a new father whose nerves are raw or to a new mother whose body may still be exhausted from pregnancy and birth, even 15 minutes can seem like an eternity.
These colicky babies cry for hours on end, often drawing up their legs in what looks like terrible abdominal pain, no matter what any one does for them.

Equine colic is a sometimes serious condition, and can be defined as" any crisis which causes abdominal discomfort in a horse" A more scientific definition, however, is" a spasm of any soft or hard hollow organ, such as the abdomen, that is accompanied by pain".
The degree of pain and the response of the animal to analgesics( pain relievers) are two of the criteria used to determine the severity of colic.

 misc.kids FAQ on Colic
Dealing with her colic was still difficult however the sleeping techniques I learned with my first through the book were incorporated at a very early age - also he loved her soother (most colic babies will not even entertain it).
My younger sister also had Colic, so I know what it is like to see a child with Colic, but to parents with kids that have Colic, don't worry about your child crying all the time.
I think that most of us know instinctively how to do that - and if walking a screaming baby(ies) around the house for 3 or more hours is incompatible with this notion, then by all means feed them, change them, make them safe in their cribs, and then leave them to cry for a while.

If your baby is under 5 months old and cries for more than three hours in a row on three or more days a week for at least three weeks, and there's no medical explanation for his distress, chances are he's colicky.
It may be that some babies have more immature or sensitive digestive systems than others.
