AB Oliguria  literally  means  “reduced”  urine  volume—less  than  that  necessary  to  remove  endogenous  solute  loads  that  are  the  end  products  of  metabolism.  If  the  patient  concentrates  urine  in  a  normal  fashion  while  consuming  a  regular  Western  diet,  oliguria  (for  that  person)  is  present  at  urine  volumes  <400  mL/day,  or  approximately  6  mL/kg  body  weight.  If  the  kidney  concentration  is  impaired  and  the  patient  can  achieve  a  specific  gravity  of  only  1.010,  oliguria  is  present  at  urine  volumes  <1000–1500  mL/day.
