Explanation:

Detailed explanation-2: -Oliguria occurs when urine production is reduced dramatically, defined as a decrease in urine output to less than 500 mL per day or less than 0.5 ml/kg/hour. In contrast, anuria is the absence of urine production, defined as a urine output of fewer than 100 milliliters per day.
