Anuretic

In addition, the psychologist diagnosed the 3-year-old as anuretic and encopretic when, in fact, the child was simply not yet toilet-trained, and neither diagnosis is valid at such a young age.

This should be considered in any patient who becomes hypotensive, breathless and anuretic following catheterisation (11).

Some children may be anuretic – renal function (serum creatinine, urea and electrolytes) should be analysed promptly.
