Abstract
Background: Adults with suspected renal colic should have low-dose non-contrast computed tomography (LDNCCT) kidney-ureter-bladder (KUB) within 24 hours of presentation as per the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guideline 29th July 2020. LDNCCT should be performed within 24 hours of presentation, unless it is contraindicated, to prevent delays to diagnosis and treatment. Delay in treatment of obstructed kidney can result in permanent damage to kidney function. Aim of this study was to assess the compliance to the existing NICE guidelines on getting LDNCCT for patients with suspected renal colic in our tertiary care university teaching hospital.
