Acute urinary retention (AUR) is a condition characterized by the sudden inability to pass urine and completely empty the urinary bladder. Individuals with AUR are unable to urinate at all, even though the urinary bladder is filled with urine. It is the most common urologic emergency. In men, AUR is most often secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH); AUR is rare in women.
