title: Oliguria.
abstract: Oliguria is a common finding in adult patients in hospitals and carries a significant morbidity if its origin is not corrected promptly. The differential diagnosis of oliguria is broad; thus a solid knowledge of its causes is required for advanced practice nurses to diagnose oliguria correctly.
