Many cases of oliguria result from either periods of surgical shock associated with the operative procedure or from poorly understood reactions in the kidneys to the cross clamping of the aorta below the renal arteries. Considerable attention has been given to these problems of acute tubular damage with associated oliguria or anuria during the last few years and progress has been made in supporting these patients during the phase of renal impairment with rigid medical management and often dialysis. Most cases of anuria occurring immediately after surgery can be related to hypotension or surgical shock.
