A 76-year-old man with renal failure from nephroangiosclerosis received a kidney transplant from a deceased donor. The transplant was functioning well when the patient underwent a radical laryngopharyngoesophagectomy, with colopharyngeal anastomosis, for esophageal carcinoma. He was transferred to the intensive care unit 5 days after surgery, where his urine was noted to be green (right-hand specimen, next to a normal urine specimen), with unremarkable sediment and a creatinine level of 1.4 mg per deciliter (123.8 ÎĽmol per liter). Owing to the presence of mucous drainage from the proximal surgical wound, the patient had received an injection of methylene blue (also called aniline violet and tetramethylthionine chloride) through his nasogastric tube, to look for a possible fistula; a fistula was found. Methylene blue is a water-soluble dye that can be used to assess whether a fistula is present or used as a medication. It is filtered by the kidneys and has no pathologic effects but may cause the urine to have a bluish or greenish hue. Once the dye has been passed (after 2 days, in this patient), the color.

Oliguria: or hypouresis (both names from roots meaning "not enough urine") is the low output of urine.[1] In humans, it is clinically classified as an output more than 100 ml/day but less than 400ml/day
Anuria means nonpassage of urine,[1] in practice is defined as passage of less than 100 milliliters of urine in a day
Azotemiz=Elevated BUN and serum Creatinine levels
Uremia=Azotemia is a word that refers to high levels of urea, but is used primarily when the abnormality can be measured chemically but is not yet so severe as to produce symptoms. Uremia is the pathological manifestations of severe azotemia.
