Morphology

hematocyturia = hematocyte (opaque) = hemato + cyt + uria

Forming the noun by adding the medical suffix '-uria' to 'hematocyte' is a regular medical formation, but it uses technical combining forms.

Etymology

Hematocyturia breaks into three parts: hemato- 'blood', cyto- 'cell', and -uria 'urine', so it literally means 'blood cells in the urine'.
