Predictors of oliguria in post-traumatic acute kidney injury

Acute kidney injury is classified by urine output into non-oliguric and oliguric variants. Non-oliguric acute kidney injury has lower morbidity and mortality and accounts for up to 64% of acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients. However, the incidence of non-oliguric acute kidney injury in the trauma population and whether the 2 variants of acute kidney injury share the same risk factors is unknown. We hypothesized that oliguria would be present in the majority of acute kidney injury in severely injured trauma patients and that unique risk factors would predispose patients to the development of oliguria.
