Anuric

/ən.ˈjʊr.ɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or affected by anuria; describing a complete absence of urine production due to kidney failure.

Etymology

From 'anuria' (complete lack of urine) plus the adjectival suffix '-ic', describing conditions related to this severe medical state.

Kelly Says

An anuric patient has experienced complete kidney failure—their body cannot produce any urine at all, which is why dialysis machines literally do the kidney's job by filtering blood directly outside the body.
