Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is anuria? Anuria literally means no urine, or without urine. In practical terms, it means that your kidneys aren’t producing urine (pee) or that you aren’t peeing (anuresis). Anuria’s the most severe form of oliguria, which means that your kidneys aren’t producing enough urine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anuria is diagnosed when the kidneys are producing less than 500 milliliters (mL) of urine each day. A usual daily urine output is between 1 to 2 liters for an adult.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oliguria is likely to need medical treatment unless your urine output is low because you haven’t been taking in enough fluids. You may be able to treat yourself in that case by drinking more fluids, such as plain water or rehydration solutions that contain electrolytes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Signs and symptoms Anuria itself is a symptom, not a disease. It is often associated with other symptoms of kidney failure, such as lack of appetite, weakness, nausea and vomiting. These are mostly the result of buildup of toxins in the blood which would normally be removed by healthy kidneys.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anuria refers to a total lack of urine production. The normal color of urine ranges from light yellow to dark amber, depending on the concentration of solutes in the urine. Urechrome is the name of the pigment that gives urine its characteristic yellow color.
