I'm sorry, but the history is mediocre, how long ago was the MI, 3 days or 3 years?

Congestive heart failure/Cardiogenic Shock due to the previous MI leading to Pre-renal kidney failure.

If the infarct is fresh it is acute renal failure. The causes can be:
1. hypercalemia
2. high serum myoglobin
3. low minute volume...
I don't see the connection between earlier infarct and sudden severe oliguria.
