Oliguria, or low urine output, occurs when urine output is less than 400 ml per day. It may be due to dehydration, reduced fluid intake, or a preexisting health condition. It is usually a temporary problem in healthy people.

If symptoms other than low urine output occur for several days in a row, it is important to consult a doctor. This will help rule out a serious medical problem.

Low urine output can occur in anyone, but it is more common in people with certain kidney diseases that can lead to acute kidney injury (AKI), also known as acute kidney failure.

This condition is relatively common among those undergoing dialysis or who are already hospitalized. Additionally, older adults may be at greater risk of developing oliguria.

A healthy person urinates about six times a day. Adults and children who urinate less than 400 ml of fluid per day may suffer from oliguria, or low urine output. Infants urinate anywhere from almost every hour to six times a day. A lower urine output may be a sign of low urination. This can also cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, flank pain, burning in the stomach and ureters, and so on. Ignoring low urine output can lead to serious problems, including kidney failure, which can be fatal.
