A medical condition involving excessive loss of nitrogen compounds through the urine or other bodily fluids, particularly in certain metabolic disorders.
From 'azote' (nitrogen) + 'rhea' (from Greek 'rhein' meaning to flow). Medical term combining nitrogen terminology with the '-rhea' suffix for abnormal discharges or flows.
Medical '-rhea' words (like diarrhea, galactorrhea) all describe abnormal flows of something—azotorrhea indicates the body is losing nitrogen at dangerous rates, a sign of serious metabolic trouble.
