OSMO CALC

(1.86 (Na +K) + 1.15 (Glucose/18) + (Urea/2.8) + 14 where Na and K are in mmol/L; Glucose and Urea are in mg/dL

Cautions

Na/Cl: Falsely low sodium and chloride results may occur in the presence of hyperlipidemia or hyperproteinemia.
K: Falsely elevated serum/plasma potassium measurements may occur with lysis of red or white blood cells or platelets during or after blood collection.
Creatinine: Creatinine results may be falsely decreased in icteric samples. In some cases of monoclonal gammopathies (especially Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia with very high concentrations of IgM), creatinine results may be unreliable.
Calcium: Calcium results may be affected in patients who received gadolinium containing contrast media within the past 24 hours (especially patients with impaired renal function).
Glucose: Falsely elevated glucose results may occur in patients taking Eltrombopag.  In some cases of monoclonal gammopathies (especially Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia with very high concentrations of IgM), glucose results may be unreliable.
