A medical condition where bilirubin (a yellowish substance from broken-down red blood cells) is found in urine, usually indicating liver or bile duct problems.
From 'bili-' (relating to bile) + 'rubin' (the reddish pigment bilirubin) + '-uria' (presence in urine, from Greek 'ouron'). The term combines medical Latin and Greek roots used in pathology to describe abnormal substances in urine.
