Understanding Osmolality - Urine


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 Osmolality test might reveal whether your body's fluid balance is unbalanced. To examine the body's fluid balance, a urine osmolality test is frequently performed in conjunction with a serum osmolality test.


A urine test might also be performed to figure out why you're urinating more or less. If you experience signs of a fluid imbalance, diabetes insipidus, or some form of poisoning, you may need a serum or urine osmolality test. Excessive thirst, nausea, vomiting, headache, disorientation, lethargy, and seizures are symptoms of a fluid imbalance and diabetes insipidus.

What is Osmolality - Urine used for?

The Urine Osmolality test is performed when one or more of the following symptoms appear:

•    Abnormal sodium level in blood

•    Lethargy

•    Excessive thirst and urination

•    Dehydration

•    Nausea

•    Chronic diarrhea

The test may also be performed when the patient has consumed methanol, spurious alcohol, etc.
