urine
Liquid bodily waste
Urine is the liquid waste product that the kidneys filter from blood and that the body expels through urination.
It consists mainly of water along with dissolved salts and organic compounds the body needs to eliminate.
In medical contexts, urine samples provide diagnostic information about health conditions, drug use, and hydration levels.
The word appears in compounds like urine test and urine sample, and informally people often substitute pee or piss.
