Title: Complete anuria in perforated gastric lesions
Abstract: 1.1. Two cases are presented to illustrate the fact that anuria is only a symptom, and may be a misleading one. 2.2. Both were cases of perforated stomachs with no immediate referable symptomatology. 3.3. Both patients complained of intense desire to void, although the bladders were empty. 4.4. In each case the anuria was mistaken for acute retention with rupture of the bladder. In both cases, however, the cause of the anuria was the dehydration secondary to the loss of fluids into the peritoneal cavity via the gastric perforation. 5.5. A simplified classification of anuria is presented. Anuria is classified according to the location of the underlying pathology as Prerenal, Renal, and Postrenal.
