Anesthesiologists are often called upon to (1) assess and manage perioperative oliguria (Table 18–1); (2) provide renal protection; and (3) use renal function to achieve goals not directly related to urine output, such as decreasing brain swelling or decreasing accumulation of fluid in lung alveoli.
