Overview

Oliguria and anuria are the decreased or absent production of urine, respectively.

Oliguria is defined as a urine output that is less than 1 mL/kg/h in infants, less than 0.5 mL/kg/h in children, and less than 400 mL/day (equals 17mL/hour) in adults.[1]

Causes in Alphabetical Order


The mechanisms causing oliguria can be divided into several categories:

Prerenal

In response to hypoperfusion of the kidney (e.g. as a result of dehydration by poor oral intake, diarrhea, massive bleeding or sepsis)

Renal

Due to kidney damage (severe hypoperfusion, rhabdomyolysis, medication)

Postrenal

As a consequence of obstruction of the urine flow (e.g. enlarged prostate, tumor compression urinary outflow, expanding hematoma or fluid collection)

The decreased production of urine may be a sign of dehydration, renal failure or urinary obstruction/urinary retention.

Postoperative Oliguria

Patients usually have a decrease in urine output after a major operation that may be a normal physiological response to:

Oliguria in Infants

Oliguria, when defined as less than 1 mL/kg/h, in infants is not considered to be a reliable sign of renal failure.[2]==Risk Factors== Patients having any of the conditions mentioned in the causes are at risk of oliguria.

Natural History, Complications and Prognosis

Although a significant decrease in urine output may indicate a serious, even life-threatening condition, adequate urine output can be restored with prompt medical treatment.

Diagnosis

History and Symptoms

History of

  • Time pattern
    • When did this begin?
    • Did it occur suddenly?
    • Has it rapidly become worse?
  • Quality
    • How much does the patient drink each day?
    • Does drinking more increase the daily urine output?
    • How much urine does the patient produce each day?
    • What color is the urine?
  • Aggravating factors
    • Has there been fever?
    • Has there been diarrhea?
    • Has there been vomiting? With or without nausea?
    • Is thirst decreased?
    • What other symptoms does the patient have?
  • Other
    • What medications does the patient take?
    • Does the patient have any allergies?
    • Does the patient have access to adequate fluids?
  • Medical history
    • Has the patient had any recent injuries such as burns?
    • Has the patient been sick?
    • Does the patient have a history of a problem with the kidneys or bladder?

Laboratory Findings

Treatment

Medical Therapy

It mainly depends on the cause:

Home Care

The patient should follow prescribed fluid regimens and measure urine output as directed.

Primary Prevention

Prevention depends on the underlying cause.
