Effect observation of tamsulosin in treatment of lithiasis in lower ureters with renal colic

Objective To assess the effect of tamsuiosin(alpha 1 receptors blocker) in treatment of ureterolithiasis in the lower ureters with renal colic.Methods From January 2008 to October 2011,92 patients with ureterolithiasis in the lower ureters were randomly divided into two groups:group A(n=46) was subjected to our regular treatment(antibiotics and phloroglucinolon 80mg qd in zhe during renal colic)and group B(n=46) was regular treatment combined with tamsulosin 0.4 mg,qd.Results In group A,52.27% of the patients expelledthe calculi and was lower than 88.89% in group B.The mean time discharged calculus in group A was more longer and attack times ofrenal colicsmore frequent and 60min renal colic relief efficiency compared with group B [(13.21±6.32) days vs(7.36±2.47) days,22 times vs 6 times,68.18% vs 84.44%,respectively].Conclusion Tamsuiosin treatment of lower ureteral stones can significantly improve zhe stone ex pulsion rate,60 min renal colic relief efficiency,shorten the discharge time,reduce the number of episodes of renal colic during treatment.
