haemoglobinuria
Free HAEMOGLOBIN in the urine. This rare event occurs when large quantities of haemoglobin have been released from the red cells in the blood, as in severe MALARIA, causing the complication ‘blackwater fever’ or other forms of HAEMOLYTIC ANAEMIA. The free haemoglobin is able to pass through the kidneys into the urine. Compare HAEMATURIA.Collins Dictionary of Medicine © Robert M. Youngson 2004, 2005
