==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.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Klahr S, Miller S | title = Acute oliguria. | journal = N Engl J Med | volume = 338 | issue = 10 | pages = 671-5 | year = 1998 | id = PMID 9486997}} [http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/338/10/671 Free Full Text].</ref>
==[[Oliguria classification|Classification]]==


==Causes==
==[[Oliguria pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
The mechanisms causing oliguria can be divided into several categories:


===Prerenal===
==[[Oliguria causes|Causes]]==
In response to [[hypoperfusion]] of the kidney (e.g. as a result of [[dehydration]] by poor oral intake, [[diarrhea]], massive [[bleeding]] or [[sepsis]])


===Renal===
==[[Oliguria differential diagnosis|Differentiating Oliguria from other Diseases]]==
Due to kidney damage (severe [[hypoperfusion]], [[rhabdomyolysis]], [[medication]])


===Postrenal===
==[[Oliguria epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
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]].
==[[Oliguria risk factors|Risk Factors]]==


===Postoperative Oliguria===
==[[Oliguria natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
Patients usually have a decrease in urine output after a major operation that may be a normal physiological response to:
* Fluid/blood loss – decreased glomerular filtration rate secondary to [[hypovolemia]] and/or [[hypotension]]
* Response of adrenal cortex to stress -increase in [[aldosterone]] (Na and water retention) and [[antidiuretic hormone]] (ADH) release
 
===Oliguria in Infants===
Oliguria, when defined as less than 1 mL/kg/h, in [[infant]]s is not considered to be a reliable sign of renal failure.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Arant B | title = Postnatal development of renal function during the first year of life. | journal = Pediatr Nephrol | volume = 1 | issue = 3 | pages = 308-13 | year = 1987 | id = PMID 3153294}}</ref>
==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.
