Osmolality - blood test. Osmolality is a test that measures the concentration of all chemical particles found in the fluid part of blood. Osmolality can also be measured with a urine test. A blood sample is needed. Follow any instructions from your health care provider about not eating before the test.
A urine osmolality test may be ordered along with blood testing when a health practitioner wants to compare urine results with the serum osmolality and/or when the person being tested is producing increased or decreased quantities of urine.
