A condition of failure of kidney to form urine is called:
Correct answer: A. Anuria
- A. Anuria
- B. Deamination
- C. Uremia
- D. Oliguria
Explanation
Anuria is the medical term for the complete cessation of urine production by the kidneys, often resulting from severe kidney damage or failure. In contrast, 'Deamination' refers to a metabolic process unrelated to kidney function. 'Uremia' describes a condition where waste products accumulate in the blood due to impaired kidney function, but does not specifically indicate the absence of urine production. Therefore, Anuria is the correct choice as it directly addresses the failure to form urine.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
