What does ANURIA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A medical condition in which the kidneys produce little or no urine.
Anuria is considered more severe than the related condition of merely reduced urine output, and it often signals serious kidney failure, a blocked urinary tract, or extremely low blood pressure reaching the kidneys. Physicians treat anuria as a medical emergency because waste products that urine would normally remove begin to build up in the blood. The term is formed from the prefix an-, meaning without, combined with the root for urine.
