serum.osmolarity: Serum osmolarity

In CCVR/inteRn: What the package does (short line)

Description

Calculate the serum osmolarity from the measurements in a basic or comprehensive metabolic panel.

Usage

serum.osmolarity(
  serum.sodium = 140, 
  BUN = 24, 
  glucose = 95,
  ethanol = 0
)

Arguments

serum.sodium	Numerical value corresponding to sodium reported in BMP/CMP.
BUN	Numerical value corresponding to BUN reported in BMP/CMP.
glucose	Numerical value corresponding to glucose reported in BMP/CMP.
ethanol	Numerical value corresponding to ethanol level in blood.

Value

Returns a numerical value corresponding to the serum osmolarity.
