A member asked:
I have decreased urination, could this be caused by acute tubular necrosis?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
