The Osmolality, Urine Test test is often advised when the individual has abnormal blood sodium levels, excessive thirst, dehydration, or suspected kidney problems.

Sometimes, it is performed along with serum osmolality and other tests to give a complete picture of the body’s fluid balance.

For this test, the urine sample must preferably be the first-morning midstream urine (part of the urine that comes after the first and before the last stream). Collect the urine sample in a sealed and sterile screw-capped container provided by our sample collection professional. Ensure that the urethral area (from where the urine is passed) is clean and the container does not come in contact with the skin. Women are advised not to give the sample during the menstrual period unless prescribed.
