The formula to calculate the total daily osmolar output is:
\[ TDO = UV \times UO + OL \]
Where:
Total daily osmolar output is a measure of the total amount of solutes excreted in the urine and other losses over a 24-hour period. It is an important parameter in assessing kidney function and fluid balance in the body. This calculation can help healthcare providers understand a patient’s hydration status and guide treatment decisions, especially in critical care settings.
Example 1:
Step 1: Calculate the total daily osmolar output:
\[ TDO = 2 \times 500 + 100 = 1000 + 100 = 1100 \text{ mOsm} \]
Example 2:
Step 1: Calculate the total daily osmolar output:
\[ TDO = 1.5 \times 600 + 150 = 900 + 150 = 1050 \text{ mOsm} \]
