| 21. | A low serum osmolality will suppress the release of ADH, resulting in decreased water reabsorption and more concentrated plasma.
|
| 22. | Normally, when osmolality falls below its set point, plasma vasopressin levels become undetectable, and an aquaresis results.
|
| 23. | Analysis of the sample includes sterility, cell count / cell viability, metabolites, gases, osmolality and more.
|
| 24. | In these rare psychogenic cases, the patients have normal levels of urine osmolality as well as typical ADH activity.
|
| 25. | Therefore, bedside calculations are actually in units of osmolarity, whereas laboratory measurements will provide readings in units of osmolality.
|
| 26. | The site claims an osmolality of 330 mosm / L, which is nearly all derived from the 50g of glucose.
|
| 27. | It has a pH of 4.0 to 6.2 and osmolality of 270 to 310 mOsm / kg.
|
| 28. | Its levels in the blood vary with the osmolality of the plasma, which is measured in the hypothalamus of the brain.
|
| 29. | Serum osmolarity / osmolality is also affected by vasopressin due to its role in keeping proper electrolytic balance in the blood stream.
|
| 30. | The urine of these patients was of a relatively fixed specific gravity and an osmolality very similar to that of the serum.
