Oliguria

Decreased production of urine.


Diminished urine secretion in relation to fluid intake.


A deficiency in the excretion of urine.


Reduced urine secretion.


Too little output of urine.


A condition in which a person does not produce enough urine.


Production of an abnormally small amount of urine; it may be due to kidney disease, urinary tract obstruction, edema, imbalance in fluid and electrolytes in the body, or, occasionally, profuse sweating.


Reduced ability to produce urine. Under normal circumstances, the body should produce at least 1 liter of urine a day. An amount less than this can be a sign of inadequate water intake and dehydration, kidney disease, infection, medication side effects, or other conditions. Diagnosis requires physical examination and may include blood tests and X rays of the kidneys.


The production of an abnormally small volume of urine. This may be a result of copious sweating associated with intense physical activity and/or hot weather. It can also be due to kidney disease, retention of water in the tissues, loss of blood, diarrhea, or poisoning.


Urinary output of less than 400 ml/day. Oliguria results in renal failure if it is not reversed.


Oliguria refers to the inadequate production of urine relative to the amount of fluid consumed. This condition can be triggered by excessive sweating, and in certain instances, it may indicate kidney failure.


Excreting a small amount of urine compared to fluid consumption.
