Morphology

albuminuric = albuminuria (semi-transparent) = albumin + uria + ic

Formed by a standard adjectival suffix '-ic' attached to the medical noun 'albuminuria', yielding 'relating to albuminuria'.

Etymology

Albuminuric comes from albumin, a protein whose root alb- means 'white' like 'egg white', and from the ending -uric which comes from 'urine'. So albuminuric means having the protein albumin in the 'urine', which can show a problem with the kidneys.
