Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
It is definitely a matter of concern if the child do not pass urine for 12-24 hours.
AS the child is sleeping probably there is no distension of bladder.
You can safely wait till tomorrow.
Kidney damage will occur if there is no urination for more than 24- 48 hours, inspite of drinking plenty of water.
First of all there is distension of bladder and back pressure leading damage of kidney.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
