hematuria

proteinuria

oliguria

uremia

Explanation:

• Hematuria refers to the presence of blood in urine.
• Proteinuria is the presence of excess proteins in urine.
• Oliguria is defined as scanty production of urine (usually less than 400 mL per day in adults).
• Uremia is a condition with high levels of urea and other waste products in the blood due to kidney dysfunction, not directly about urine production volume. So the correct term for scanty urine production is oliguria.
