Urine: Don't know what you saw but I would encourage you not to jump to the conclusion that you have kidney disease or are dying. Maybe you are googling too many things about symptoms and diseases. Take care.

Please Clarify: What do you mean "reduce urine production'? There is no such medication and that would be very unusual to have physicians attempting to decrease urine production.
