Calculated Urinary Osmolality
The Calculated Urinary Osmolality Calculator is a vital tool for evaluating the kidney's ability to concentrate or dilute urine. It estimates the osmolality of urine based on specific solute concentrations, such as sodium, potassium, and urea. Urinary osmolality provides insight into renal function, fluid balance, and osmoregulation, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions like dehydration, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), or acute kidney injury.
- Assess Renal Function: Helps evaluate the kidney’s ability to regulate water and electrolytes.
- Diagnose Disorders: Useful for identifying conditions like dehydration, SIADH, and chronic kidney disease.
- Monitor Therapy: Tracks changes in osmolality to assess the effectiveness of treatments for fluid imbalances.
- Quick and Accurate: Provides a reliable estimate of urinary osmolality for clinical decision-making.

Where:
- \( [\text{Na}^+] \): Sodium concentration in mEq/L
- \( [\text{K}^+] \): Potassium concentration in mEq/L
- \( [\text{Urea (mg/dL)}] \): Urea concentration in mg/dL
Description:
Calculated Urinary Osmolality is a measure of the concentration of solutes in the urine. It is used to assess the kidney's ability to concentrate urine and evaluate the hydration status of a patient.
Formula Explanation:
The formula uses the concentrations of sodium (\( \text{Na}^+ \)), potassium (\( \text{K}^+ \)), and urea in the urine to estimate the osmolality. Sodium and potassium concentrations are multiplied by 2, while urea is multiplied by 2.8 to account for its contribution to osmolality.
Normal Range:
The normal range for urinary osmolality is typically between 500 and 800 mOsm/kg, but it can vary depending on the individual’s hydration status and kidney function.
The normal range for urinary osmolality typically falls between 50–1200 mOsm/kg.
- Low Urinary Osmolality may indicate conditions such as overhydration, diabetes insipidus, or chronic kidney disease.
- High Urinary Osmolality could suggest dehydration, SIADH, or inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion.
