EP090 - Renal Colic_ Diagnosis and Management of Kidney Stones

This podcast is based on clinical scenarios from the official AMC Handbook of Clinical Assessment published by the Australian Medical Council. All cases are used solely for study and discussion. We provide personal learning insights and clinical interpretations to support AMC candidates in developing their clinical reasoning skills. The AMC Handbook is the intellectual property of the Australian Medical Council. To access the official material, please visit the AMC website.

This episode outlines a simulated medical case for a 25-year-old man experiencing acute right-sided pain and blood in his urine, likely due to a kidney stone. It serves as an instructional guide for medical candidates, detailing the patient's symptoms, physical examination findings, and the tasks required of them: diagnosing the condition, explaining it to the patient, and outlining a management plan. The case also provides the aims of the station for examiners, instructions on how to interact with the simulated patient, and expectations for candidate performance, emphasising the diagnostic process, required investigations like a CT scan, and appropriate pain management for renal colic.
