Its is contraindicated in anuria due to renal disease because the excessive loss of water and electrolytes may lead to serious imbalances. that can cause hypernatremia.

Mannitol is contraindicated in patients with anuria secÂondary to renal disease, severe dehydration, intracranial bleeding (unless during cranÂiotomy), severe pulmonary congestion or pulmonary edema.
however Mannitol is used to promote diuresis in acute oliguric renal failure, reÂduce intraocular and intracerebral pressures, enhance urinary excretion of some toxins |
