Osmolality (serum ) Calculator

Osmolality Calculator

Osmolality = sodium x 2 + glucose/18 + bun/2.8 + Etoh/4.6
Normal range: 285-295 mOsm/kg

Osmolality of blood increases with dehydration and decreases with overhydration. In normal people, increased osmolality in the blood will stimulate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This will result in increased water reabsorption, more concentrated urine, and less concentrated blood plasma. A low serum osmolality will suppress the release of ADH, resulting in decreased water reabsorption and more concentrated plasma.
Sodium: mEq/L
Glucose: mg/dL
Bun: mg/dL
Etoh (optional): mg/dL

Background:
Osmolality = sodium*2  +  glucose/18 +  bun/2.8 + Etoh/4.6
