The calculation of the osmolality or the osmotic gap is used to determine intoxication with non-ionic low molecular weight substances such as methanol or ethanol.
General informationThis section has been translated automatically.
Standard value: The reference range of osmolarity is between 280 - 300 mosmol/kg H2O. The reference range of the osmotic gap is < 6 mmol/l.
Pathologically elevated: Poisoning with non-ionic low molecular weight substances such as methanol or ethanol, hemorrhagic shock, ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, pseudohyponatremia
