osmolar

Newer, lower osmolar radiocontrast agents cause reactions in 0.04% of cases.

As flow increases, the ability of the loop to maintain its osmolar gradient is reduced.

The liver produces albumin, the major osmolar component of blood serum.

However, a normal osmolar gap does not rule out ethylene glycol exposure because of wide individual variability.

Due to its high osmolality, Metrizoic acid has a risk of inducing allergic reactions compared to lower osmolar contrst media.

To avoid ambiguity, the terms "osmolal" and "osmolar" can be used when the units of molality or molarity are consistent throughout the calculation.

The volemic classification fails to include spurious (fake) and/or artifactual hyponatremia, which is addressed in the osmolar classification.

The resulting "osmolar gap" can be thought of as either osmolar or osmolal, since both units have been used in its derivation.

MPT causes mitochondria to become permeable to molecules smaller than 1.5 kDa, which, once inside, draw water in by increasing the organelle's osmolar load.

Enzymatic digestion of the cell wall with zymolyase, creating spheroplasts, renders the cells vulnerable to easy lysis with detergents or rapid osmolar pressure changes.

These must be very carefully and slowly returned to normal, since too-rapid correction of hypernatremia may result in brain damage from cellular swelling, as water moves suddenly into cells with high osmolar content.

Because the calculated osmol gap can therefore be a conflation of both terms (depending on how it is derived), neither term (osmolal gap nor osmolar gap) may be semantically correct.

The osmolarity of a solution is usually expressed as Osm/L (pronounced "osmolar"), in the same way that the molarity of a solution is expressed as "M" (pronounced "molar").

Histamine also causes blood vessels to become porous, allowing the tissue to become edematous because proteins from the bloodstream leak into the extravascular space, which increases its osmolar load and draws water into the area.

For radiologic procedures, the newer, safer nonionic and low osmolar intravenous contrast agents are severalfold more expensive than conventional agents in the United States, but can actually be cheaper than those agents in Europe.

Clopamide selectively binds at the chloride binding site of the sodium-chloride symporter in the PCT cells on the luminal (interior) side and thus interferes with the reabsorption of sodium chloride, causing an equi osmolar excretion of water along with sodium chloride.
