What is urinary suppression?

Great Answer

Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

When urine is suppressed this means there is no secretion or output of urine. This occurs when the secreting function of the kidneys is destroyed entirely or partially.

Dangerous

Suppression of urine is a very dangerous condition because it can cause the brain to become diseased and cerebral difficulty sets in. Delirium can occur followed by a coma. Your sweat and saliva will smell and taste like urine if this happens.

Inflammation and Paralysis

When kidneys are inflamed, urination can become difficult. If the kidneys are paralyzed an individual has no desire to urinate and doesn't feel pain; however, the cerebral symptoms will occur, according to Chestofbooks.com.

Outcome of Anticoagulant Therapy

The National Institutes of Health reports that acute urinary suppression may be an unusual feature of anticoagulant therapy. Urine may be suppressed due to a ureteric obstruction caused by a blood clot.

Extreme Pain

When urine is almost totally suppressed this can result in extreme pain in the bladder and back and may cause convulsions, according to Pathlights.com.

Blame the Kidneys

When urine won't flow, the kidneys are generally the problem.
