A patient's blood has an osmotic pressure of 290 mOsm/L, and a doctor injects a solution into the patient's arm with an osmotic pressure of 150 mOsm/L. what would happens?
Answers
Answer:
This test measures the concentration of dissolved particles (osmolality) in your blood.
This test can help diagnose a fluid or electrolyte imbalance, including dehydration. Electrolytes are mineral salts that help move nutrients into your cells and waste products out of your cells.
Electrolytes also control your acidity and pH levels. The more diluted your blood and urine are, the lower the concentration of particles is. When there is less water in your blood, the concentration of particles is greater. Osmolality increases when you are dehydrated and decreases when you have too much fluid in your blood.
Your body has a unique way to control osmolality. When osmolality increases, it triggers your body to make antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This hormone tells your kidneys to keep more water inside your blood vessels and your urine becomes more concentrated. When osmolality decreases, your body doesn't make as much ADH. Your blood and urine become more diluted.
