Serum Osmolality

Serum osmolality measures the concentration of particles in your blood, such as salts, sugars, and other molecules. It indicates how well your body maintains fluid balance and hydration by showing how concentrated your blood is. A normal serum osmolality ensures that cells function properly by keeping water in the right places. Abnormal levels can suggest dehydration, overhydration, or imbalances in electrolytes, and may help diagnose medical conditions like kidney issues, diabetes, or hormonal problems. The test provides valuable information about your body's fluid and electrolyte status.
