Dorwart WV, Chalmers L. Comparison of methods for calculating serum osmolality from chemical concentrations. Am J Clin Pathol. DOI: 10.1093/ajcp/67.5.484. PMID: 859258. Scope: osmolal gap = measured serum osmolality − calculated serum osmolality (mOsm/kg); an elevated gap suggests unmeasured osmoles. (1977)
