10. Decreased Urine Output
Oliguria is the medical term that describes a decrease in the normal urine output. The technical definition refers to less than 0,5ml of urine per kilogram in a period of six to twelve hours, but these parameters may vary. Depending on the cause of oliguria, it can progress into anuria which is defined as less than 50 to 100 ml of urine per day.
Patients with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome usually don’t develop urinary symptoms. This symptom is usually more common in patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) which is also caused by viruses in the hantavirus family. Even though there are no reported cases of this condition in the US, it is important to recognize it early to prevent further complications.
