The presence of cholesterin or cholesterol in the urine, which is abnormal and can indicate kidney or metabolic problems.
From 'cholesterin' + '-uria' (presence in urine). A medical diagnostic term that emerged in the late 1800s as doctors learned to analyze urine composition.
Finding cholesterol in urine is like finding oil in your water—it normally shouldn't be there, and when it is, it tells doctors something is wrong with how your body is filtering waste!
