urinalysis
This is from an article about medication-induced liver toxicity. The case report reads:
"Varón de 15 años ... presentando en la última semana ictericia de piel ... y *orina colúrica*.
I find the word "choluric" online (less than 1,000 instances), but I don't find it in my Taber's medical dictionary, so I am asking whether there is another standard and more frequently used term for this in English.
Thanks for your help :)

Note from asker:
| HI Rita. Thanks also for your suggestion. It sounds like "choluria" is a valid term, and more specific in this case. |

: The translation is "choluria" not "dark urine", because the term exists in English. The explanation is complete, adequate and well documented..
