The medical condition of having abnormal coloration or pigmentation in the urine, which can indicate disease or metabolic disorders.
From Greek 'chroma' (color) + 'ouron' (urine), a medical term following the pattern of conditions like 'hematuria' (blood in urine) and 'pyuria' (pus in urine).
Doctors know that normal urine comes in shades of pale yellow to amber, so when patients report red, brown, or blue-tinted urine, it's often a red flag for kidney disease, porphyria, or infections—the color itself is diagnostic.
