Hemoglobinuria (hem-o-glo-bin-u' '-re-ah) [al/ia, blood ; 

 globus, a round body ; ovpov, urine]. The presence of 

 hemoglobin, the red coloring-matter of the blood, 

 in the urine, due either to its solution out of the 

 red corpuscles, or to disintegration of the red corpus- 

 cles. It occurs after transfusion of blood, during cer- 

 tain stages of septicemia, and after severe burns. It 

 is unattended with the presence of the corpuscular ele- 

 ments of the blood in the urine, thus differing from 

 hematuria. Hemoglobin Test : to a suspected sam- 

 ple add a drop of acetic acid and boil ; a red coagulum 

 indicates hemoglobin. See, also, Almen's Test, Hemin, 

 and Heller. H., Epidemic, a condition of the new-

 Paroxysmal, a form characterized by recurring peri-
