The oliguric phase of acute kidney injury is when there is a significant decrease in urine output, typically less than 400 mL per day. This phase can last 1-2 weeks and is characterized by the retention of waste products in the body, such as urea and creatinine. The other options (B) recovery, (C) diuretic, and (D) anuric refer to other phases of acute kidney injury. The recovery phase is characterized by a gradual increase in urine output and a decrease in waste product retention, the diuretic phase is characterized by a large increase in urine output as the kidneys start to recover, and the anuric phase is when there is a complete absence of urine output.
