Renal failure nonoliguric

Monitoring changes in UOP can help diagnose the cause of ARF. Acute anuria (less than 50 mL urine/day) is secondary to complete urinary obstruction or a catastrophic event (e.g., shock). Oliguria (400 to 500 mL urine/day) suggests prerenal azotemia. Nonoliguric renal failure (more... 

Fenamic acid. The principal adverse effects of mefenamic acid are diarrhoea, upper abdominal discomfort, peptic ulcer and haemolytic anaemia. Elderly patients who take mefenamic acid may develop nonoliguric renal failure especially if they become dehydrated, e.g. by diarrhoea the drug should be avoided or used with close supervision in the elderly. 

Triamterene (Dytac) is a potassium-sparing diuretic which has an action and use similar to that of amiloride. The diuretic effect extends over 10 h. Gastrointestinal upsets occur. Reversible, nonoliguric renal failure may occur when triamterene is used with indomethacin (and presumably other NSAIDs).

Tubulointerstitial nephritis can be either acute or chronic in nature. Acute interstitial nephritis is characterized by an acute renal interstitial inflammatory response with urinary eosinophils and nonoliguric acute renal failure. The more common drugs that induce acute interstitial nephritis include penicillins, rifampicin, sulfonamides, and cimetadine. Chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis is most commonly associated with the long term use of large amounts of analgesics and antiinflammatory agents (e.g., NSAIDs). 

The volume of urine is determined both by the fall in glomerular filtration rate and by the reduced tubular reabsorption of water. The balance determines whether renal failure, if it occurs, is oliguric or nonoliguric. Retention of sodium and water help to conserve body water and...
