serum osmolality. 1  a measure of the number of dissolved particles per unit of water in serum. 2  Measurement of the serum osmolality gives information about the hydration status within the cells because of the osmotic equilibrium that is constantly being maintained on either side of the cell membrane (homeostasis).
The blood osmolality test, also known as a serum osmolality test, measures the amounts of several chemicals in your serum. Serum is the liquid part of your blood. The blood osmolality test identifies how much dissolved blood urea nitrogen, glucose, and sodium are in your serum.When your body is functioning properly, it makes specific adjustments to maintain the correct osmolality. For example, you may need to urinate frequently if your blood osmolality is too low.smolality is a measure of how much of one substance has been dissolved in another substance. The greater the concentration of substance dissolved, the higher the osmolality. Very salty water, for example, has higher osmolality than water with just a hint of salt.
