Enter your sodium, glucose, and BUN levels into the calculator to determine your serum osmolarity.
Serum Osmolarity Calculation Formula
The following formula is used to calculate serum osmolarity from the given variables.
Serum Osmolarity = (2 * Sodium) + (Glucose / 18) + (BUN / 2.8)
Variables:
- Serum Osmolarity is the concentration of solutes in the blood (mOsm/L)
- Sodium is the concentration of sodium in the blood (mEq/L)
- Glucose is the concentration of glucose in the blood (mg/dL)
- BUN is the blood urea nitrogen level (mg/dL)
To calculate serum osmolarity, use the above formula to combine the values of sodium, glucose, and BUN. This calculation is important for assessing the balance of solutes in the blood, which can be crucial for diagnosing and managing various health conditions.
What is Serum Osmolarity?
Serum osmolarity refers to the concentration of solutes in the blood serum. It is an important measure for evaluating the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance. Osmolarity is influenced by the levels of sodium, glucose, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in the blood. Monitoring
