Prerenal oliguria is a condition characterized by a decreased urine output due to inadequate blood flow to the kidneys, often resulting from factors such as dehydration, heart failure, or systemic shock. It reflects a reversible form of acute kidney injury where the kidneys themselves are functioning normally but are not receiving sufficient blood supply to produce urine effectively. Prompt identification and treatment of the underlying cause can restore normal kidney function and urine output.
The prefix for oliguria is olig- which means few or little. Oliguria means little urine production.
Decreased urine output is also known as Oliguria. Renal malfunctions or dehydration can cause Oliguria. The ICD-9 code for decreased urine output/oliguria is 788.5.

Oliguria is scanty urine output. This is clinically classified as between 100-400 ml per day in humans. This could be a sign of dehydrations, renal failure, hypovolemic shock, urinary tract infections, or pre-eclampsia, among other things. The most extreme type of oliguria is called anuria, which means the absence of urine (more specifically, less than 50 ml a day).
