Abstract
Measurement of plasma and urine osmolality is quick, easy and accurate. The recognition of the interdependence of urine volume and osmolality on the excretion of the daily obligatory solute load assists in the diagnosis and management of fluid balance and renal excretory problems in the acutely ill. In addition, syndromes of osmotic disequilibrium present a challenge in metabolic care.Keywords
