The American spelling variant of alloxuraemia; excessive alloxuric compounds in the blood.
From 'alloxan' plus 'uremia' (American spelling without the 'ae' digraph), which comes from Greek 'ouron' (urine) and 'haima' (blood). The removal of 'ae' reflects 20th-century American medical spelling standardization.
Watching the British 'uraemia' become American 'uremia' tells a story of how American medicine simplified spelling after WWII—it was a small change that made terms easier to type on new electronic medical equipment, showing how technology shapes language even in specialized fields.
