Despite being easily operated and displaying reduced costs and short turnaround time, urine osmolality still remains rarely used in the majority of clinical laboratories. Nevertheless, urine osmolality may add significant information and value in specific clinical settings, including differential diagnosis of polyuria and hyponatremia and in the estimation of ammonium urine concentration by urine osmolal gap calculation. Clinical laboratories and clinicians must work closely together to identify and share specific diagnostic paths. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
