Arms & Interventions

Indomethacin

Subjects will be randomized to receive a 100-mg indomethacin suppository 30 min before ESWL.

Intervention: Glycerin Suppository

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

the Incidence of Post-ESWL Pancreatitis

Time Frame: up to 1 months

Patients were identified as post-ESWL pancreatitis if meeting two out of three criteria: pain consistent with acute pancreatitis; amylase or lipase\>3 times normal limit; characteristic findings on imaging, in according to the Revised Atlanta International consensus.

Secondary Outcomes

  • the Incidence and Severity of Asymptomatic Hyperamylasemia and Other Post-ESWL Complications(up to 1 months)
  • the Severity of Post-ESWL Pancreatitis Measured as Consensus Definitions for the Major Complications of ERCP(Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography )(up to 1 months)
