Here is how the Osmolar Gap equation looks like.

2.96 = 3 - 40

2.96mmol/L = 3mmol/L - 40mmol/kg

2.96 = 3 - 40

Osmolar Gap Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Osmolar Gap?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

OG = MO - O serum

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

OG = 3mmol/L - 40mmol/kg

Next Step Convert Units

∴

OG = 3mol/m³ - 0.04mol/kg

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

OG = 3 - 0.04

Next Step Evaluate

∴

OG = 2.96mol/m³

LAST Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

OG = 2.96mmol/L

Formulas to find Osmolar Gap

Measured Osmolality

Measured Osmolality refers to the measured concentration of dissolved particles of chemicals and minerals such as sodium and other electrolytes in given serum.

Symbol: MO

Measurement: Molar ConcentrationUnit: mmol/L

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

Formulas to find Measured Osmolality

Calculated Serum Osmolality

Calculated Serum Osmolality refers to the calculated concentration of dissolved particles of chemicals and minerals such as sodium and other electrolytes in given serum.

Symbol: O_serum

Measurement: MolalityUnit: mmol/kg

How to Evaluate Osmolar Gap?

Osmolar Gap evaluator uses Osmolar Gap = Measured Osmolality-Calculated Serum Osmolality to evaluate the Osmolar Gap, The Osmolar Gap formula is defined as an indication of unmeasured solute in the blood. It is determined by the measured osmolality (MO) minus the calculated osmolality (CO). Osmolar Gap is denoted by OG symbol.

How to evaluate Osmolar Gap using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Osmolar Gap, enter Measured Osmolality (MO) & Calculated Serum Osmolality (O_serum) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Osmolar Gap

What is the formula to find Osmolar Gap?

The formula of Osmolar Gap is expressed as Osmolar Gap = Measured Osmolality-Calculated Serum Osmolality. Here is an example- 2.96 = 3-0.04.

How to calculate Osmolar Gap?

With Measured Osmolality (MO) & Calculated Serum Osmolality (O_serum) we can find Osmolar Gap using the formula - Osmolar Gap = Measured Osmolality-Calculated Serum Osmolality.

Can the Osmolar Gap be negative?

No, the Osmolar Gap, measured in Molar Concentration cannot be negative.

Which unit is used to measure Osmolar Gap?

Osmolar Gap is usually measured using the Millimole per Liter[mmol/L] for Molar Concentration. Mole per Cubic Meter[mmol/L], Mole per Liter[mmol/L], Mole per Cubic Millimeter[mmol/L] are the few other units in which Osmolar Gap can be measured.
