Osmolality (# of moles of solute in a kg of water) can be measured by freezing point depression or by vapor pressure osmometers, (5) but also can be estimated provided that some basic chemistries are available (i.e., Na, Glue, BUN), and can be performed at the patient's bedside (OSMO, CALC = 2 Na + Glucose/18 + BUN/2.8).
