Background: There are several methods for calculating serum osmolality, and their accordance with measured osmolality is the subject of controversy.
Methods: The concentrations of sodium, potassium, glucose, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and osmolalities of 210 serum samples were measured...
Keywords: osmolal gap, osmolality, osmotic coefficient, Regression Analysis, sodium
