What does the suffix “uria” indicate in medical terms?

  1. Diarrhea

  2. Inflammation

  3. Urine

  4. Vomiting

The correct answer is: Urine

The suffix "uria" in medical terms usually indicates the presence of urine-related conditions or symptoms. Option A, "diarrhea," refers to increased frequency or fluidity of bowel movements, which does not relate to urine. Option B, "inflammation," refers to a condition where part of the body becomes swollen, reddened, hot and often painful, which is not directly related to urine. Option D, "vomiting," refers to the forceful expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth, which is also not directly related to urine. Therefore, option C is the most relevant answer as it directly relates to the presence of urine in the medical term.
