Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It sounds like dialysis is what is needed. If there is no urine output after lasix then that is a sign that the kidneys are no longer functioning.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
