Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anuria, sometimes called anuresis, refers to the lack of urine production. This can happen as a result of conditions like shock, severe blood loss and failure of your heart or kidneys. It can also be due to medications or toxins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anuria or anuresis occurs when the kidneys aren’t producing urine. A person may first experience oliguria, or low output of urine, and then progress to anuria. Urination is important in removing both waste and excess fluids from your body. Your kidneys produce between 1 and 2 quarts of urine a day.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oliguria occurs when the urine output in an infant is less than 0.5 mL/kg per hour for 24 hours or is less than 500 mL/1.73 m2 per day in older children. Anuria is defined as absence of any urine output. An important point to remember is that healthy newborns may have no urine output for 24 hours after birth.

Detailed explanation-4: -These words and conditions are all related. They refer to how much urine you produce. The definition of oliguria is low urine output, while anuria means no urine output. Polyuria means excessive urine production. Paying attention to urine has been a medical tool for thousands of years.

Detailed explanation-5: -Oleum (Latin oleum, meaning oil), or fuming sulfuric acid, is a term referring to solutions of various compositions of sulfur trioxide in sulfuric acid, or sometimes more specifically to disulfuric acid (also known as pyrosulfuric acid).
