A
anuria
B
polyuria
C
oliguria
D
hematuria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oliguria is the medical term for low urine output. If you have a blockage, your kidneys are producing urine but you aren’t able to excrete it. If you aren’t producing urine, you may have diseases of the kidneys, heart or lungs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oliguria is defined as having only 100 mL to 400 mL (3.3 to 13.5 oz) of urine per day and anuria (the most extreme of all of these) is defined as urine production of zero to 100 mL (0 to 3.3 oz) per day.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oliguria is when you pee less than usual. For adults, that means less than 400 milliliters of urine a day. The specific amounts for infants and children are based on their weight (less than 1 milliliter per kilogram per hour for infants, and less than 0.5 milliliters per kilogram per hour for children).
