Plasma Osmolarity

Molecular classification
Physiological Parameter, Electrolyte Balance Indicator
01

Overview

Plasma osmolarity is a measure of the concentration of solute particles in plasma, reflecting the body's electrolyte–water balance. It is a critical parameter for assessing hydration status and guiding the diagnosis and treatment of fluid and electrolyte disorders. The body maintains plasma osmolarity within a narrow range through mechanisms involving ADH and renal water reabsorption.
