    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Diagnostic Testing

    Background:

    • Osmometry is a clinical tool with various applications.
    • Its acceptance in veterinary medicine is still developing.
    • Availability is increasing in medical centers and clinical laboratories.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical applications of osmometry.
    • To discuss its potential in veterinary medicine.
    • To highlight its value in fluid and electrolyte balance assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical applications of osmometry.
    • Comparison of calculated and measured osmolality.
    • Evaluation of osmometry in screening for body fluid disorders.

    Main Results:

    • Osmolality determination is a simple, rapid, and inexpensive screening test.
    • Comparing calculated and measured osmolality aids clinical interpretation.
    • Differences between calculated and measured values can occur.

    Conclusions:

    • Osmometry is valuable for screening fluid/electrolyte imbalances.
    • It is essential for monitoring intensive care patients and fluid therapy.
    • Osmometry is the best measure of renal concentrating ability, especially for polyuric/proteinuric patients.
