Question 1

what is the definition or description of: decreased urination?

Accepted Answer

Varies. Use live svc: Basically, decreased urination is in 1 of 2 forms: (1) urinating less total volume in a day than usual, or (2) urinating fewer times per day (or not at all) than usual. The former is oliguria, the latter is anuria. The problem can be caused by a variety of factors, from kidney disease, to bladder / prostate / urethra probs, to simple lack of volume (dehydration). Use HealthTap Prime to find cause.

Question 2

i have decreased urination, could this be caused by acute tubular necrosis?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: Decreased urination almost always relates to either reduced fluid intake or increased fluid losses such as diarrhea or increased sweating. In the rare instance when low urine output is due to kidney disease, weight gain from the accumulated water retention should be measurable on a daily bases.

Question 3

took 2, 30 mg morphine pills in a day. now she is experiencing side effects like decreased urination and itching. how long will these last?

Accepted Answer

See below : The therapeutic pain-relieving and euphoric effects of oral morphine generally last about 4-6 hrs. Itching and depressed bladder function are not uncommon side effects of narcotics and opiates and may last noticeably longer with considerable individual variation. 90% of the drug is excreted

Question 4

so, should i see a doctor? i drink but have decreased urination.

Accepted Answer

Factor sweat/weight: If you drink more than your urine output but your weight is stable then you are losing the difference some other way e.g. Sweating much, excercise, diarrhea. Occ, you don't notice sweat but are always staying warm i.e. Low level of a/c. Also, possible that you don't urinate frequently but each void is large enough to remove intake. If wt is up or have swelling, see a doc.

Question 5

recently ive had increased thirst but decreased urination, ive also been really tired after having a good nights sleep.

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Are  you drinking plenty of fluids?

Need exam &amp; tests

Increased thirst &amp; tiredness may point to diabetes though you are only 16.

Question 6

if everything in urine analysis was fine except for presence of nitrite should i worry about uti ? i only have decreased urination volume nothing else

Accepted Answer

Why was the test: Done? All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Generally presence of nitrite indicates urinary infection and a positive result should be followed up with urine culture.

Question 7

15 days after metabollic panel test shown blood ph 7.49 ..anion gap 18.4(nrml 21-28) uric acid 7.4... took ors rehydration salts.felt decreased urination..1 hr after having whole pkt in 10 hrs..urinated yellow urine 2 times..then normal colour urine?

Accepted Answer

: I am sure you want a specific answer. That is not possible based on this forum. More information is needed. Your uric acid level is high, which makes me consider  few things but gout and kidney problems come to mind. You should see a doctor

Question 8

chf patient under 1l water intake a day, bun level 63, creatinine 2.0 on lasix 40 mg maintenance dosage. should water intake be increased a little so the kidneys don't conserve water? asking because of decreased urination wirh stable gfr. check adh?

Accepted Answer

Cannot say: without an exam, I can only give general information. and it would depend on the overall labs in the past, use of aspirin like drugs, what other drugs are present (ace inhibitors). BUT
the ratio of bun to creatinine is high. This implies low filtration that is improved with a bit more water in diet.

Question 9

my mother is experiencing  less frequent urination. the following also describes her: rapid heart rate. what should she do?

Accepted Answer

Not enough info.: There isn't  very much information here. However, rapid heart rate with decreased urination might be associated with dehydration. So hydration might be helpful. However, without evaluation - can't provide definitive recommendations. Take care.

Question 10

kidney problem,possible?nausea,vomiting,r kidney pain,lwr r abdominal pain.decreased urination+frequency to urinate.lost weight.decreased appetite.

Accepted Answer

Kidney infection: as well as GYN-related concerns. I would recommend an exam and possibly some tests to detect any serious conditions that may require treatment soon
