Less urine output and feeling of holding back

1. Standards for low urine volume

A urine volume of less than 400 ml in 24 hours, or less than 17 ml per hour, is called oliguria; a urine volume of less than 100 ml in 24 hours, or no urine output within 12 hours is called anuria (urinary retention). The inability to excrete urine is called dysuria.

2. Diagnosis points

(1) It is caused by low blood pressure and low blood volume, which leads to decreased renal blood flow, and is often caused by shock, massive blood loss, plasma dehydration (such as large-area burns); massive hemolysis (favism, drug-induced hemolysis), heart failure, arrhythmia, malignant hypertension, connective tissue kidney damage, cardiac arrest, severe anemia, etc.

(2) Caused by renal parenchymal lesions, such as severe systemic renal damage, seen in sepsis, meningitis, toxic dysentery, toxic pneumonia, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, etc. Kidney diseases such as acute and chronic nephritis, renal tuberculosis, polycystic kidney disease, etc. Kidney poisoning: seen in toxic kidney disease caused by various poisons.

(3) Obstructive renal failure is seen in urinary system diseases caused by renal pelvis or ureteral stones, blood clots, edema, and tumor compression.

4. Taboo Foods
