Patient complains that he has not passed urine for sometime, but there is no evidence of a distended bladder. Catheterization does not produce any result. The condition is SUPPRESSION OF URINE, or ANURIA, or OLIGURIA.
Suppression may be due to an obstruction in both the ureters, the kidneys being healthy; a tumour at the base of the bladder; or malformation 
of the ureters. Urine may not be passed for days and there may be no symptoms. There may be vomiting in some cases. Death may result suddenly.
Suppression may also be a result of severe renal failure due to any acute or chronic causes like- acute nephritis, subacute nephritis, chronic pyelonphritis and a febrile state including heat stroke. Here there is highly vomiting, diarrhoea and sweating.
Lots of different things can cause oliguria. Many of them go away on their own, but some need medical treatment.
Dehydration: This is the most common cause of oliguria. It happens most often when you've been vomiting or had diarrhea.
Burns and other serious injuries: Burns can dehydrate you and make you pee less. Other kinds of trauma that can cause oliguria include blood loss (hemorrhage), anaphylactic shock from a bad allergy, and septic shock after an infection or surgery.
Obstruction: To get from your kidneys to your urethra -- the tube that takes pee out of your body -- urine has to pass through a maze of “plumbing” called your urinary tract. A blockage anywhere in this area can cause oliguria or even anuria, which is when you don’t pee at all. Many different things can block your urinary tract, like scar tissue from surgery, kidney stones, or a tumor.
Medicines: Certain drugs can make you pee less, including:
Kidney disease: Oliguria can cause kidney failure, but more often it’s a symptom that your kidneys aren’t working the way they should.
