The abnormal presence of cholesterol in the urine, indicating a disorder of fat metabolism or kidney function.
From 'cholesterol' + '-uria' (in urine). This modern term parallels the earlier 'cholesterinuria,' using the newer name for the same condition.
The presence of cholesterol in urine is rare but significant—it can signal liver disease, severely high cholesterol, or problems with how your kidneys filter blood!
