The presence of algin or algin-related compounds in urine, usually associated with consumption of foods containing alginate additives.
Combining 'algin' with 'uresis' (from Greek 'ouron' meaning 'urine' and '-esis' indicating a condition). This medical term emerged in the 20th century as food additives became more prevalent and researchers studied their effects on the body.
Alginuresis is generally harmless and temporary—it's actually one of the ways scientists can track how well our bodies process food additives, since the algin passes through the digestive system largely unchanged and shows up in urine!
