    AbstractPerioperative oliguria is common but rarely implies acute renal failure. We should interpret oliguria as a sign of intravascular hypovolemia and treat it as prerenal until proven otherwise. On the other hand, the absence of oliguria does not exclude acute renal failure. The most reliable clinical indicator of progressive renal dysfunction is a serial decline in creatinine clearance estimation, a measure of glomerular filtration rate.
