What Does Nonoliguric Mean

Acute renal failure was defined as serum creatinine > 1.5 mg/dl (133 mumol/l) with normal maternal renal function. Nonoliguric renal failure was defined as renal failure with urine output > 1 ml/kg per hour after the 1st day. An asphyxia morbidity scoring system was used to distinguish severe from moderate asphyxia.

What is the difference between oliguric and Nonoliguric patients with acute renal failure?

The difference in urine output between oliguric and nonoliguric AKI may be due to one of two factors: Nonoliguric patients may have a higher glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than those with oliguria, and/or they may reabsorb less in the tubules.
