Osmolality - urine
The osmolality urine test the concentration of particles in urine. Osmolality (particles/kg water) and osmolarity (particles/liter of solution) are sometimes confused, but for dilute fluids such as urine they are essentially the same. A blood test may also be done to measure osmolality. See: Serum osmolality
