Exercise 15

A patient with oliguria might progress to having:

A. Nocturia

B. Polyuria

C. Polydipsia

D. Anuria

Step 1 of 2

Oliguria is the condition where urine output is less than the normal. (That is, 1200 mL per day).

• Oliguria is caused as a result of dehydration diarrhea, vomiting.

• So, when oliguria persists in a patient, it leads to decrease of urine volume and finally the urine flow is stopped which is called Anuria.

Therefore, “anuria” will result when a patient is suffering with oliguria. Hence, the correct answer is option.
