Morphology

analbuminemia = albuminemia (semi-transparent) = an + albumin + emia

The negating prefix 'an-' is a regular formation on the medical base 'albuminemia', but the pieces ('albumin', '-emia') are specialized medical morphemes not familiar to general learners.

Etymology

Analbuminemia breaks into an- 'without', albumin which is a blood protein like albumen the 'egg white', and -emia 'blood condition'. So, analbuminemia means a rare medical condition of having very little or no albumin in the blood.
