SOP Leitsymptom Flankenschmerzen

Hinter dem häufigen Leitsymptom Flankenschmerzen kann sich – neben Auslösern wie Harnleitersteinen oder Pyelonephritiden – eine ganze Reihe unterschiedlicher Krankheitsbilder verbergen. Diese SOP soll Ärztinnen und Ärzten in der Notaufnahme eine Übersicht über die möglichen Ursachen geben. Ausgehend von Anamnese, Untersuchung einschließlich Sonografie und Labordiagnostik werden wichtige Differenzialdiagnosen angesprochen sowie ein Algorithmus zur Bildgebung vorgestellt.
