In general, if someone has an increased serum osmolality, it is due to either decreased water in the blood or increased solutes. If the person has decreased serum osmolality, it is due to increased fluid levels.
The osmolality of a fluid is a measure of the number of particles in a solution. In a drink these particles will comprise of carbohydrate, electrolytes, sweeteners and preservatives. In blood plasma the particles will comprise of sodium, proteins and glucose. Blood has an osmolality of 280 to 330mOsm/kg. Drinks with an osmolality of 270 to 330mOsm/kg are said to be in balance with the bodyâs fluid and are called Isotonic. Hypotonic fluids have fewer particles than blood and Hypertonic have more particles than blood. Consuming fluids with a low osmolality, e.g. water, results in a fall in the blood plasma osmolality and reduces the drive to drink well before sufficient fluid has been consumed to replace losses. Which is most suitable?
