How does the Osmolarity Calculator work?

Osmolarity = 2×Na + Glucose(mg/dL)/18 + BUN(mg/dL)/2.8 Then: Normal: 275–295 mOsm/kg Then: > 295: hyperosmolar (dehydration, DKA, hyperglycaemia) Then: < 275: hypo-osmolar (SIADH, water overload).

Can you give an example of how to use the Osmolarity Calculator?

Example: Input Na 142, Glucose 108, BUN 14 gives a result of Osmolarity = 284 + 6 + 5 = 295 mOsm/kg (upper normal).

Is the Osmolarity Calculator free to use?

Yes — completely free with no registration, download, or subscription required. All calculations happen instantly in your browser.
