A medical condition in which excess ammonia or ammonia compounds are present in the urine.
From ammonia + -uria (a medical suffix from Greek 'ouron' meaning 'urine'), describing the presence of abnormal substances in urine, as in 'hematuria' or 'proteinuria.'
The -uria suffix creates a whole medical vocabulary for diagnosing health through urine analysis—glucose, protein, ammonia—making the chemical composition of waste tell stories about internal disease.
