Oliguria 1


Oliguria 1 :

Medicine. A lower than normal volume of urine (less than or equal to 0.5 ml perkg of body weight per hour for adults or children). Anuria is the absence of urine production. Additional Info: Oliguria is a symptom of several potentially life-threatening conditions. Some examples include: (1) Renal (kidney) failure due to trauma, toxins, a temporary obstruction, or decreased blood flow. (2) Shock (due to diabetes, trauma or infection (septic shock) etc.). It can also be an indication of dehydration caused by failure to drink enough fluids, something than can upset your body's electrolyte balance. MSDS Relevance: This term usually appears on an MSDS as a symptom of exposure to the material. Oliguria is usually a symptom of a much more serious condition such as renal (kidney) failure or prostrate problems. Watch for other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, etc. and consult a physician if you suspect a more significant problem. Definitely consult a physician if your urine output stops entirely. As always, read the MSDS's of the chemicals that you work with so you know and understand possible symptoms of exposure. And, of course, take the proper precautions to avoid exposure in the first place. See also: PEL
