  2. Plasma osmolality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_Osmolality

    A low serum osmolality will suppress the release of ADH, resulting in decreased water reabsorption and more concentrated plasma. Syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion occurs when excessive release of antidiuretic hormone results in inappropriately elevated urine osmolality (>100 mOsmol/L) relative to the blood plasma, leading to hyponatraemia.

  3. Osmol gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmol_gap

    The calculated osmolality is then subtracted from the measured osmolality to provide the osmol gap, or the difference between these two values. If this gap falls within an acceptable range,(<10) then it is assumed that sodium, glucose, BUN are indeed the major dissolved ions and molecules in the serum.

  4. Osmotic concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotic_concentration

    According to IUPAC, osmolality is the quotient of the negative natural logarithm of the rational activity of water and the molar mass of water, whereas osmolarity is the product of the osmolality and the mass density of water (also known as osmotic concentration).

  5. Stool osmotic gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stool_osmotic_gap

    Stool osmotic gap is calculated as 290 mOsm/kg − 2 × (stool Na + stool K). [2] 290 mOsm/kg is the presumed stool osmolality, and the measured concentration of sodium and potassium cations is doubled to account for the corresponding anions which must be present. [citation needed]

  6. Osmotherapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotherapy

    Normal serum osmolality ranges from 280 to 290 mOsm/kg and serum osmolality to cause water removal from brain without much side effects ranges from 300 to 320 mOsm/kg. Usually, 90 mL of space is created in the intracranial vault by 1.6% reduction in brain water content. [ 1 ]

  7. Free water clearance - Wikipedia

    2 Calculation. 3 Interpretation. 4 ... Since osmolar clearance is given as the product of urine flow rate and the ratio of urine to plasma osmolality, this is ...

  8. Freezing point depression osmometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing_point_depression...

    Osmometry is widely used in pharmaceuticals, quality control laboratories, and clinical chemistry to measure the osmolality in aqueous solutions accurately. It is commonly used in medical clinics to assist with various pharmaceutical practices, [10] including the development of lens care solutions and eye drops.

  9. Osmotic coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotic_coefficient

    For liquid solutions, the osmotic coefficient is often used to calculate the salt activity coefficient from the solvent activity, or vice versa. For example, freezing point depression measurements, or measurements of deviations from ideality for other colligative properties, allows calculation of the salt activity coefficient through the osmotic coefficient.
