About the Test
This test measures osmolality, the concentration of dissolved particles such as salts and glucose in your blood. It reflects your body's fluid and electrolyte balance and how well hydration is being regulated. Osmolality is used to help investigate problems like abnormal sodium levels, unexplained thirst or excessive urination, and disorders affecting water balance and certain hormones.
What is it? A blood test measuring serum osmolality, the concentration of dissolved particles in the blood.
