Relating to the presence of hemoglobin in the urine, which indicates that red blood cells are being broken down in the body.
From hemo- (blood) + globin (protein in red blood cells) + uric (relating to urine). This modern medical term combines Greek and Latin roots to describe an abnormal condition discovered with the development of urinalysis.
Hemoglobinuria is one of those medical red flags that can point to everything from severe infections to poisonings—finding hemoglobin in urine is like finding engine oil in your dishwater; something's definitely broken.
