The presence of fat or lipids in the urine, often indicating a metabolic or kidney disorder.
From adiposo- (relating to fat) + -uria (suffix meaning 'condition of urine,' from Greek ouron 'urine'). This medical term combines two Greek/Latin roots to describe what appears in urine specimens.
When doctors find fat in urine—something that shouldn't normally be there—it's like finding a crime scene clue; it tells them the kidneys aren't filtering properly or the body's fat metabolism is broken.
