“Clinically defined as urine output of less than 100 ml in 24 hours, anuria indicates either urinary tract obstruction or acute renal failure due to various mechanisms.[…]Anuria is rare; even with renal failure, the kidneys usually produce at least 75 ml of urine daily.”

“Changes in urinary pattern such as polyuria, oliguria, anuria, enuresis, and excessive thirst can be associated with tubular dysfunction.”
