approach to oliguria by Josh Farkas @pulmcrit

The ABSENCE of oliguria argues AGAINST a “PRE-RENAL” etiology.
The presence of oliguria reveals nothing about the etiology (prerenal, intrinsic, postrenal).
After exclusion of postrenal etiology, FST (Furosemide Stress Test 1.0 mg/Furosemide in naive and 1.5 mg in pre-treated) might help in differentiating “pre-renal” vs “intrinsic”.
