Πώς να υπολογίσετε το Osmolality
Τι είναι το Osmolality;
Osmolality measures solute concentration in body fluids. It's critical for diagnosing hyponatremia, hypernatremia, and fluid disorders.
Τύπος
Calculate: Osm = 2[Na] + (Glu/18) + (BUN/2.8)
- Na
- Na value — Variable used in the calculation
- BUN
- BUN value — Variable used in the calculation
Οδηγός βήμα προς βήμα
- 1Calculate: Osm = 2[Na] + (Glu/18) + (BUN/2.8)
- 2Normal: 280-310 mOsm/kg
- 3Compare measured to calculated osmolality
Worked Examples
Εισαγωγή
Na 128, glucose 200, BUN 28
Αποτέλεσμα
Osm ≈ 318 (high), measured lower suggests hyponatremia
Pseudohyponatremia likely
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ✕Neglecting glucose and BUN contributions in hyperglycemia/uremia
- ✕Confusing osmolality with osmolarity (different in concentrated solutions)
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the osmolal gap?
Difference between measured and calculated osmolality. Large gap suggests unmeasured osmoles (ethanol, methanol, etc.).
How does osmolality relate to sodium?
Sodium is the main determinant of osmolality; hyponatremia usually means hypoosmolality and vice versa.
