The oliguria is a pathology that is the drastic decrease in urine output with it the substances that would be eliminated remain in the body, which can harm the functioning of the kidneys.
An adult person, with a normal diet, eliminates about 800 ml of urine a day, and when this amount is significantly reduced in a short period of time, it is a sign that something is wrong in his body. The decrease to approximately 400 ml is called oliguria, while a sharper drop in urine excretion to 100 ml daily is defined as anuria .
The cause of these problems can be symptoms of dehydration, when the person starts to consume less fluid or hardly consumes it throughout the day, kidney failure or calculus, the use of drugs with anticholinergics, a substance used to inhibit the production of acetylcholine, diuretics and certain antibiotics, as well as the complete blockage of the urinary tract that is caused by inflammation of the prostate, prostatitis. It is important to remember that the amount of urine excreted must be interpreted together with its density, by a competent physician, in order to reach the correct diagnosis.
