Anuria

Anuria is a decrease in daily diuresis that leads to its complete cessation.

• In young children, it is defined as urine production 0−0.5 ml/kg/h.

• In adults, it is defined as urine production 0-50 ml/day.

Anuria develops from the oliguria that precedes it.

Causes

• acute renal failure;
