Serum Osmolarity

Serum osmolarity measures the body's electrolyte-water balance.

Serum osmolarity is proportional to the sum of blood urea nitrogen, serum glucose, serum potassium and serum sodium.

Formula

QuantityVariable[Subscript["S", "osm"], "Osmolarity"] == Quantity[1, IndependentUnit["milliosmoles"]/"Liters"]*(Quantity[0.35714285714285715, "Deciliters"/"Milligrams"]*QuantityVariable["BUN", "MassDensity"] + Quantity[1/18, "Deciliters"/"Milligrams"]*QuantityVariable["GLU", "MassDensity"] + Quantity[2, "Liters"/"Millimoles"]*(QuantityVariable[Subscript["S", "K"], "Molarity"] + QuantityVariable[Subscript["S", "Na"], "Molarity"]))
