[Lat. albumen , gen it. album in is; Gr. είδος (eidos) = (1) form, (2) species, kind.] Proteids. (Ger. eiwei körper .) Chem.: A name given to certain chemical substances which occur in the animal and vegetable ti ues. They are amorphous, and their chemical constitution has not yet been discovered. They contain about 54 parts of carbon, 7 of hydrogen, 16 of nitrogen, 21 of oxygen, and 1 to 14 of sulphur. They are di olved by acetic acid and strong mineral acids; nitric acid converts them into xanthoproteic acid; caustic alkalies decompose them, forming leucine, tyrosine, oxalic acid, and ammonia. They are divided into the following cla es: (1) ALBUMINS, soluble in water; as serum and egg albumen. (2) GLOBULINS, insoluble in water, soluble in very dilute acids and alkalies, soluble in a solution one per cent. - of NaCl (sodium chloride), as myosin, globulin , fibrinogen, vitellin. (3) 141 DERIVED ALBUMINS, insoluble in water and in solutions of NaCl (sodium chloride), soluble in dilute acids and alkalies; as acid albumin, alkali albumins, or albuminates, as casein. (4) FIBRIN, insoluble in water, sparingly soluble in dilute acids and alkalies, and in neutral saline salutions; as fibrin and gluten. (5) COAGULATED PROTEIDS, soluble in gastric juice; as coagulated albumin. (6) AMYLOIDS, or Lardacein , insoluble in gastric juice. (See papers by Kekulé, Wanklyn, .; also Watts's Chem .

Fibrin, gelatin, casein, and vegetable gluten, with, of course, albumen itself, fall under this category. "This looks like the white, or albumen, of the bird's egg, but it is not albuminous."- Beale : Bioplasm (1872), § 44, note. 2. Resembling albumen. al-bu-min-ür-i-a, s. [Lat. albumen; urina = urine. ] Med .: A disease characterised by the presence of albumen in the urine. It may be acute or chronic. Acute albuminuria is a form of inflammation of the kidneys. Chronic albuminuria, the commoner and more formidable malady, arises from grave constitutional disorders. It is often attended by or produces dropsy. Whether acute or chronic, but specially when the latter, it is generally called Bright's disease , after Dr. Bright, who first described it with accuracy.

[Eng. album i nur ( ia ); -ic .] Marked by, or pertaining to, albuminuria. ăl-bun-ě-ạ, s.
