Overview
What is Osmolality - Urine?
The number of particular chemicals in blood, urine, or faeces such as glucose, urea, and various electrolytes are measured using the Osmolality test. Electrolytes aid in the regulation of fluid levels in the body. The Osmo...

Description
Urine osmolality is a measure of urine concentration, in which large values indicate concentrated urine and small values indicate diluted urine. Consumption of water (including water contained in food) affects the osmolality of urine. Osmolality is measured by osmometer, which evaluates the freezing point depression of a solution and supplies results as milliosmoles per kilogram of water
