An instrument used to measure the amount or concentration of albumen (protein) in a liquid, usually urine or blood.
Composed of 'albumen' (egg white/protein) + '-meter' (from Greek 'metron' meaning 'measure'). This technical term emerged in 19th-century medical practice when doctors needed to quantify protein levels.
Doctors use albumimeters to detect kidney disease—if your urine contains too much albumin, it might mean your kidneys aren't filtering properly. This simple measurement can catch serious health problems early!
