The Urinary Osmolality test measures the concentration of solutes in urine, reflecting the kidney's ability to concentrate or dilute urine. It helps assess hydration status, kidney function, and certain medical conditions.

The Urinary Osmolality test is generally safe, with minimal risk. The collection process involves providing a urine sample and does not pose significant risks to the individual.

Normal range: Typically 300 to 900 mOsm/kg Values may vary slightly depending on factors such as fluid intake and individual physiology.

Low osmolality: May indicate overhydration, kidney dysfunction, or conditions causing excessive urine dilution. High osmolality: May indicate dehydration, kidney disease, or conditions causing decreased urine dilution.

A urine sample is collected for the test. It can be collected at any time of the day using a clean collection container provided by the healthcare provider.
