A medical condition in which amino acids are present in the urine at abnormally high levels; indicates kidney or metabolic problems.
From 'amino acid' + '-uria' (suffix meaning 'in the urine'). Medical term developed in 20th-century medicine to describe abnormal urine composition.
When amino acids spill into your urine, it means your kidneys are losing valuable protein building blocks—doctors use this as a diagnostic clue for everything from kidney disease to rare genetic disorders.
