A condition in which excessive amounts of nitrogen or nitrogen compounds are present or excreted in the urine, often a sign of metabolic disease.
From 'azote' (nitrogen) + 'uria' (from Greek 'ouron' meaning urine). Medical term combining nitrogen terminology with the '-uria' suffix for conditions involving abnormal urine contents.
'-uria' medical terms (like diabetes mellitus, albuminuria) tell doctors what's wrong just from the urine—azoturia signals the body is losing essential nitrogen, like a chemical distress signal.
